So when will 7d mark ii arrive here?
Need to upgrade from my 60d AF system.

why not go straight for 5d mark iii? or 6d? biggrin.gif

FF is too expensive, mark iii is about 11k for the body alone.

I also recently bought the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. smile.gif

The much improved auto focus will come in very handy with my wife's shooting of action shots at parties and my shooting of my kids.

why not 70D? it's like RM2k cheaper than the 7D mark II. The AF from the 70D is taken from 7D I.

I would not upgrade to a 70d, the change from a 60d to a 70d is not so significant unless you use your camera mainly for video.

which part do you feel lacking in the 70D? mind you the 7D AF system is very capable even after so many years as what you will get in the 70D. Don't mind the name, the 70D is stil a solid upgrade from the 60D imo.

The 70d is a fine camera, but I already have a 60d. The autofocus system on the 70d is of course better then that of the 60d, but it is not enough for me to change the camera.

The change in autofocus system from 60d to 7d mark ii is huge though.

if i were you, i will not even think of upgrading. since you just purchased the 17-50, just stick with it. I have shot tons of sports photos with canon 500d, one of the most basic AF system, and published too. 60d is far far better in terms of AF. plus, shooting fast moving subject is not entirely dependent on your camera as well, mostly on skills and experience, and also on your lens quality. trust me on this, u are just thinking of upgrading because of the hype!
so i really don't see the point of upgrading to 70d, 7d, or even 7d mark ii. save some money up first if budget is your problem. i really recommend your next camera to be a Full frame sensor cam if u really want to upgrade. smile.gif just my two cents.

I bought the 17-55 about a year ago.

Around the time the 6d was coming out, I had a long thought about buying the 6d (inc the 24-105) and going the FF way.
In the end I decided to stick with APS-C which is why I bought the 17-55.
At that point my plan was already to buy the 7d mark ii if it were ever to come out.

Why not just give it a try in a shop and trust your gut feeling?

Yeah, I will certainly do that.
