Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM: It’s really but not-so-natural to see a Canon lens topping in DXO Mark Lab examination, however if it does so that clearly means that 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 STM lens is a excellent performer and best travel lens for you. The other big advantage of particularly this lens is it uses STM motor, the step-drive-motor does silent AF and perfect for creating videos without AF noise. Buy Canon EF-S 18-135mm Lens from Amazon

 We’re going to clash the two cameras Nikon D7200 and Canon EOS 7D Mark II to check out their performance in different features. We’ll see how they prove right to each other and it’ll only be cleared when we go through all their specs thoroughly.
Major Difference
Nikon D7200 vs. Canon EOS 7D Mark II Specification Comparison Table.
Megapixel: Though Nikon D7200 using 24MP of resolution as well as enjoying APS-C ( 23.3 x 15.6mm) and Nikon D7100 avails 20.2mp which is less than D7200 however Nikon D7200 produce more sharper and beautiful images.
Low pass filter: Nikon D7200 will have a good ability to capture the more details of the images along with edge to edge sharpness due to absence of no low pass filter and on the other side EOS 7D Mark II packed with low pass filter so it’ll miss to get the actual sharper images.
Auto Focus –
The Canon 7D Mark II AF system is more advance compared to the Nikon D7200 , the AF module of Canon 7D Mk II features 65 AF point all cross type and on the other hand the Nikon D7200 features 51 AF point, 15 cross-type. Both camera support AF detection sensitivity down to -3 EV.
Advance CMOS AF sensor inside the Canon 7D Mk II
The Canon 7D Mark II sensor features Dual pixel CMOS AF sensor technology and on the other hand the Nikon keep its believe on traditional contrast based detection system
The 7D Mark II 3rd generation Dual-pixel CMOS AF sensor that will give you blazing fast AF speed while you are using display or shooting video, on the other hand the Nikon D7200 features contrast based AF system that … so Nikon D7200 the AF speed is slow [compared to 7D Mk II] while a you are using display of recording a video file.
ISO: To freeze the subjects moving in a dark light more easy and comfortable with Nikon D7200 due to its iso range whose limits upto 104200 as a result of which it provides sharp and magnified images and on the other hand EOS 7D Mark II can’t be good as D7200 as it contains upto the range of 51200.
Shooting speed: Canon EOS 7D Mark II will be more loyal in capturing much of the actions of the subjects with 10 fps but the D7200 consumes 6fps.
WIFI: Without any physical stress Sharing and transferring images is much possible through wifi and NFC in D7200 however there’s no facilities of wifi in EOS 7D Mark II.
Battery life: You can take 1110 shots by using D7200 but 7D Mark II can let you to take 670 shots only.
High ISO Test — of Canon 7D Mark II and Nikon D7200
The first High ISO test of the Canon 7D Make II camera is done by the imagine resource, take a look at the high ISO test images below…
Image analysis – The Canon 7D Mark II images are bit soft compared to the Nikon D7200 camera, however the somehow Canon 7D Mark II sensor able to capture better red color pattern compared to Nikon D7200.
Verdict: The Canon 7D Mark II images are bit soft but it has advance AF system that includes 65 point AF system and Dual-pixel CMOS AF sensor and on the other hand the Nikon D7200 has weak AF system but tha images are bit sharp (thanks to the absence of low-pass filter). Personally I recommend you to go with Canon 7D Mark II, finally the choice is yours.

 We have done specification comparison review and high ISO test of all the best APS-C DSLR and mirrorless camera available in the market today, take a look at the specification comparison table below..
Out of all these Prime machines Samsung NX1 core specification grabbed the maximum green lights, in terms of resolution, Advance AF system, ultra fast continuous shooting speed and a option to record 4K videos .. so finally we have to believe that Samsung NX1 camera has outstanding core specification.
Sensor
- Resolution – The Samsung is the only one who can produce gigantic image files of 28 MP by having a APS-C sensor, A 28.2MP BSI APS-C CMOS Sensor combines with DRIMe V Image Signal Processor works to produce ultra high-resolution image from a APS-C Sensor.
- ISO Range – The Nikon D7200 features the broadest ISO range (100-102400) out of all those 4 cameras, the other most important factor is the Nikon D7200 doesn’t have optical low pass filter… so due to these two major advantage we do believe that it will going to produce better image quality (less noise and more details during low-light condition) compared to the other competitors.
- Optical Low-pass filter – The absence optical low pass filter ensures the sharpness of image when viewed at 100%, so you get more details in Fujifilm X-T1 and Nikon D7200 when viewed at 100%.
Image Stabilization – The Sony A77 II is the only camera that features built in image stabilization system, the camera will sure help you to bring out sharp images during low-light environment.
Auto-Focus System:
- Both Nikon D7200 vs Sony A77 II features traditional Contrast detect CMOS sensor and a separate AF module below the sensor, So the phase detect AF Module (with 51 AF points) of Nikon D7200 works only when the photographer is using the viewfinder of the camera, on the other hand the Sony A77 II features fixed SLT mirror so the Phase AF sensor below the sensor is always active while using viewfinder or display screen. The A77 II AF module features 79 AF point which incorporates 15 centrally-located cross-type points.
- Samsung NX1 and Fuji X-T1 features Hybrid AF sensor with built-in active phase AF pixels inside it, so there is no separate AF module present in both the camera, the Samsung NX1 28 MP Sensor also features 205 phase and 209 contrast-detection autofocus points to acquire focus quickly and precisely and on the other hand we don’t know much details about the details of X-T1 AF system.
- Canon 7D Mark II features Dual Pixel CMOS AF Sensor and it is one of the most advance technology for Auto-focusing used by any camera till date, the camera uses the 65-point all cross-type autofocus system while you are using viewfinder and it activates Dual-Pixel CMOS AF technology while you are using live-view screen .As we know that in Dualpixel CMOS AF tech the system composed of two separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and dense network of phase-detection gathering elements across nearly 80% of the frame, the AF system is always utilized while you are using live view display screen for shooting video or stills. (click here to see how dual pixel CMOS AF work).
Continuous Shooting Speed: We don’t know what kind of alien technology Samsung has, but the Samsung NX1 can shoot 15 frames per second @28 MP, no camera stands in front of Samsung NX1.
Video – Only Samsung NX1 can shoot 4K videos by having Full Time AF support with the help of Hybrid CMOS sensor, all the other camera limited to Full HD recording only.
Connectivity: The 7D Mark II is the only camera that doesn’t have built-in WiFi connectivity, all the other camera listed does have built in WiFi or NFC connecitivty
High ISO Test
Nikon D7200 Image sample isn’t available yet, but we do have High ISO test images of Canon 7D Mark II, Sony A77 II, Samsung NX1 and Fujifilm X-T1.
 Canon 7D Mark II and Fujifilm X-T1, both the camera showing impressive image quality during high ISO test, the at ISO 6400 and 12800 image have minimal amount of noise and more details compared to Sony A77 II and Samsung NX1.
Verdict:
- Samsung NX 1 is clear winner if we look at the comparison table of both the camera, but the NX1 system have very limited number of lenses available… so if your lens requirement is limited you should go with NX1.
- Canon 7D Mark II is looking bit weak in comparison table but the Dual-Pixel AF system and Image quality of the camera is really impressive, the other major factor that make you choose Canon 7D Mk II is Canon professional Lenses available of the 7D Mk II DSLR..
- Nikon D7200 AF system is out-of date, Nikon should add Hybrid AF sensor to all its upcoming DSLR to compete in the current market.
- Sony A77 II look good on paper but the image quality is not so good, above all the images of Sony A77 II have reddish tint on them.
- Fujifilm X-T1 is one of the best mirrorless camera I have ever seen, the camera features advance X-Trans II sensor, no optical low-pass filter and Hybrid AF system, despite of its bit low resolution.. the image quality is good at High ISO range.
Final Word: If you are planning to buy a Pro APS-C DSLR, you should go for Canon 7D Mark II DSLR.

As we know that the EOS 7D Mark II features Hybrid 65 point AF, but will all these AF points will work with your current EF and EF-S Lenses? Take a look below the compatibility chart of your Canon 7D Mark II camera…
The Canon 7D Mark II is equipped with a new 65-point AF system, the AF points are arrayed over a wide area on the screen that you see, allowing you to focus on subjects nearly up to the edges of the screen. The most important thing is every AF point that you see is a Cross-type point and the center AF point allows AF with lens + Canon extender combina tions down to f/8 effective maximum apertures

After getting a lot of email from users, we finally decided to remove the post, the problem is limited to very few models…
Few users are reporting that 7D Mark II showing some AF issue with Fast lenses, So don’t panic some body may show some lens AF issue, You can somehow fix the problem in the micro adjustment menu (if you can). But I recommend all buyers to send the 7D Mark II back and demand a perfect one. You pay a high price for the camera compared to the image quality. You can demand a fully functional camera for your money.
