I appreciate this thread. I am in the same boat. I need to buy either a 1D Mark IV or 7DII this week.
I am a longtime 1-series shooter (1D, 1D Mark IIn and 1D Mark III) and use the bodies mostly for football, basketball and running events, many at night. Servo AF and tracking have to work. I need reliable 6400 (or maybe even higher) ISO. With the Mark III, I seem stuck at 3200.
Which body should I buy? Thanks.
Bob, did you decide on a body? I'd be interested in hearing what you did and whether you're pleased with the results. Given your familiarity with the 1D series, I'd lean towards the 1D IV. It is a fantastic camera and I enjoyed using it much more than the 1D III. My main reason to upgrade was because of the higher ISO performance and I wasn't disappointed at all.
I've not used a 7D II; however, from what I've seen, high ISO doesn't seem to be its forte. I'm keeping myself open to the possibility of a 7D II in my future because of the anti-flicker capability and the extra reach for daytime field sports. I upgraded to the 1Dx and really miss the extra reach when compared to the 1D IV.
