I have fifteen hundred USD, I've been using a Canon T3 since 2014, I have 3 lenses, I know exactly what I want in a camera, and I want to know why I shouldn't buy a 7D Mk II.
I want good, fast and intelligent autofocus, I want easily controlled focus points - like with a focus nub. I want very good high iso performance. I want good low light focus acquirement. I want >5FPS. I want instant access to aperture, exposure, and shutter speed without toggle buttons. I want at least 10-11 stops of dynamic range in the raw files.
I've been considering jumping ship to Fuji because their cameras have everything I want. Why shouldn't I, if the above list is practically all of my requirements? Battery life is irrelevant to me so long as I can consistently get 200+ shots on a charge. I can carry more batteries.
I'm basically looking for a 5k+ USD camera in terms of ease and speed of use for around 1500 USD. The 7D Mk II fits most of those, while as far as I can see the Xpro 2 and the soon to be XT-2 have all of that, but I'm apprehensive about new camera systems, like Fuji's X. I'm also a lazy bum and don't want to hassle with selling the stuff I already have. I understand that Canon should be announcing their higher end cameras soon, but I don't give enough of a shit to wait that long if current cameras have what I want.
I think my expectations are far too low because I've had such a shit camera to learn with. I'm slightly scared of not getting enough improvement for spending that much money. I know that practically any camera will be an improvement.
