On some points, Nikon&#8217;s cameras may still have an edge over the Canon 7D mk II.\u00a0 For example, the recently announced Nikon D750 includes Wi-Fi, a tilting LCD screen, may yet have better image quality at ISO 12,800.\u00a0 Yet, the 7D mk II price tag is $500 less than the D750 !<\/p>\n<p>The whole Canon vs. Nikon thing is so over-done.\u00a0 Both companies succeed in pushing each other to\u00a0 new heights.\u00a0 Fact is &#8230; my lenses and other accessories are all Canon and I don&#8217;t care if a particular Nikon camera has one additional feature.\u00a0 Cameras are like shoes &#8230; the most important feature is how it feels to you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A month ago, I wrote of the Canon rumor mill and the forthcoming EOS 7D mk II.\u00a0 Today, Canon officially announced that camera.
