Although I have had mine for over 2 months I have had few opportunities to use it! However it seems to be shaping up well so far. The AF is very good (not far behind my 1DX), IQ seems very good especially for APSC and the ISO performance is better than  I expected. So overall it's a rather nice wildlife camera at a VERY (if you hunt around) reasonable price.As of yesterday I added a the BG-E16 battery grip - a bit expensive but very solid! Previously I have been rather disappointed with Canon battery grips but Canon have stepped up a notch or two with this one. For a start it has a metal frame and is MUCH more rigid, so no floppy droops when you mount the camera (rather than the lens) on a tripod. The buttons are much better too duplicating the feel of their equivalents on the camera body. It also gives a nice heft to the 7D2 as I was afraid that it might float away when changing lenses! I think I have been using 1 series lead bricks too much8-P</blockquote>
