Canon EOS 7D Mark II vs Nikon D500

Verdict

The Canon 7D Mark II is an excellent camera that has stood the test of time very well, and its image quality is a near match to that of the Nikon D500. However, the D500 benefits from a little finessing that has been brought about by recent developments. The autofocusing system is absolutely superb, and the whole camera just seems a little more responsive than its Canon counterpart. The new SnapBridge technology is a boon to anyone who likes to share images on a frequent basis, because it saves you from having to remake the connection with your phone.

It's a shame that Nikon hasn't put some effort into improving the Live View and Video autofocus system for the D500, because the tilting touch-sensitive screen are a great partnership for the 4K video recording capability.
