Canon EOS 7D Mark II Digital SLR

"records to both SD and CF cards for versatility and security during important shoots"

alternatively, you can install a wi-fi adapter that uploads the photos while simultaneously saving them to a card.

I agree with /u/indieforge. All you'll get out of the 70D is video autofocus and a 30 minute continuous recording limit. The video image quality is the same.

It is just as susceptible to moire, for example, as first generation Canon DSLRs, as seen in this side by side with the 60D:

You might be better off saving up another $800 for a [7D Mark II] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEWZDRG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NEWZDRG&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link] (fast video autofocus, moire resistant, 1080/60p, headphone jack - 30 minutes of continuous recording)

If you want to spend less and get more for your money, you might consider switching to a [$1500 GH4 mirrorless] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9GYG8O/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00I9GYG8O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link] (moire resistant - headphone jack - 4K resolution - hours of continuous recording - 1080/96p - focus peaking - no need for an external viewfinder or EVF - $31 manual adapter for your Canon EF lenses [but not EF-S]).

Here is what this camera can do:

You'll find many more examples of what the GH4 can do in the ["GH4K" group] (https://vimeo.com/groups/gh4k) I moderate over on Vimeo.

I own this camera and can recommend it without reservation.

Hope this is helpful!

It looks like it's about 2.5 to 1 slow motion or 60 fps conformed to 24 fps. There are several large sensor, interchangeable lens cameras from Panasonic, Sony, Nikon and one from Canon (the [$1399 7D Mark II] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEWZDRG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NEWZDRG&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)) that can record 1080p at 60 fps for a reasonable price.

Higher frame rates would allow you to slow the action down even more.

Here's what 4:1 slow motion looks like (96 fps conformed to 24 fps): [Matsoe Matsoe - Summer Time (Panasonic GH4 96 fps Glidecam 4000) by visualrockstars.tv] (https://vimeo.com/100034235). Only one reasonably priced large sensor, interchangeable lens camera can record 1080p at 96 fps - the [$1297.99 Panasonic GH4] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2FIPCDMCGH4AT.html).

And here's 5:1 slow motion (120 fps conformed to 24 fps): [Samsung NX1 120fps by Philip Leclerc] (https://vimeo.com/118529486). Only one reasonably priced large sensor, interchangeable lens camera can record 1080p at 120 fps - the [$1498.26 Samsung NX1] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NFDZRRA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NFDZRRA&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20).

Hope this is helpful, good luck finding the slo-mo look you want - and best of the New Year!

EDIT: Clarity

I always worry when recommending equipment because there are so many options and honestly recommending the right one based on your needs is difficult. That being said there are several great deals on the camera market right now.

Canon is offering the
T5 with two lenses for 599.99

(http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00V73JZY6/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_3?qid=1458226791&sr=8-3-spell&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=t5+canera)

If you're a Nikon guy, Nikon is offering there fun little D3300 with two lenses for about the same price range. I personally recommend this because I think this is the better option in terms of specs.

(http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00T8LQ8VW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1458227047&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=nikon+d3300&dpPl=1&dpID=41G8D-4CF3L&ref=plSrch)

And just as an outsider here is a body that I own and absolutely love that is great for filming and time lapse.

Also a time lapse controller will be needed so here is one I recommend

Yeah the single digit ones are the pro line and are quite a bit of coin. The 7D Mark II is about $1500.

According to his website, John uses a Canon EOS 7D Mark II Digital SLR

Looks like this with a 24-105 lens on it.

I would go with the [Canon EOS 7D Mark II] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEWZDRG/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=dimz04-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00NEWZDRG&linkId=cfba36ed4f92236a7648e14bbd63fdfa) ranked as 4.7 star out of 5 which is great, ranked as the best for landscape/wildlife photoshooting.

Its not cheap but the sweet spot for DSLRs is CANONS new 7D MK 2 it has a crazy fast buffer that allows practically unlimited jpegs to be shot continuosly at 10frame per second, and has one of the best auto focus systems of any camera below or even in higher price points. It also is the best for shooting HD Sports video thanks to the auto focus system.

If your on a budget either get the Canon S110 $180 on amazon and is the best for the price (launched at 450$ and is as good as the newer S120 that sells for 379. A middle ground would be the Nikon D5300 and also as someone else recommended tbr GOPRO

Is there a large difference between: "Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera Body Only (discontinued by manufacturer)" http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Digital-Camera-discontinued-manufacturer/dp/B002NEGTTW and the newer "Canon EOS 7D Mark II Digital SLR Camera" http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Mark-Digital-Camera-Body/dp/B00NEWZDRG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1458083051&sr=8-2&keywords=cannon+eos+7d+mark+ii

Looking to pick up one of the above models as a birthday gift for my girlfriend. She would be using it for low light concert photography as well as shooting video for basic Vlogs. As there is a considerable price difference, was just curious on the real differences and if anyone had suggestions on the better choice.

forgot to add, what're you using now?

maybe a 7d ii? it's a crop but has decent low light, good autofocus, and good weathersealing
