I bought a 7D Mk 2 in January 2015. I had to send it back because the focus was all over the place.
The replacement has been fine for me, a big improvement over the 600D.
I use the 400 f5.6 prime always. I checked the micro adjustment and it was a tiny bit behind in the focussing.
Now I can get some very sharp focussed birds, even at some distance.
I almost always use Aperture priority, and set the ISO at a maximum of 400 unless it is in deep forest, or dawn and dusk. I use AI Servo and spot focussing with centre spot only.
Even though the lens is venerable now, it is super fast and very accurate. It is light to carry all day and great for BiF.
