There are adapters, of course, but they're small and easily lost. The mini and micro cables are incompatible. They still use mini-USB (as does every card reader I ever saw). You won't get 3.0 speed, but you don't have to drag multiple cords around.īut the 7D and the 5D3 don't use any form of micro-USB. So you can still use a 2.0 cable, just by plugging it into the trapezoid part. However, if you look closely you'll see that 3.0 is just a 2.0 plug with an additional plug beside it. Micro 3.0 is a terrible design, and it's about to be outdated by 3.1 which will be back to the same form factor. I don't think (hope) that Canon would be so ignorant as to introduce a completely new cable format. I'd guess that the USB cable is just a Micro USB 3.0.

Yes, the GPS likely continues to run when the camera goes to sleep, much as it does with the 6D This really drained the battery - especially since the track log recording continues even when the camera goes to sleep - and, I think, when it is powered off as wellĢ) the USB data cable now has a diffent plug at the camera end (It's a flat thing, not the standard trapezoid plug we're used to) so I have to bring along one more cable than before. In my pre-trip testing I tried the GPS image tagging with it also saving a track log. 1) would like to see compass direction added to view finder (will help find the north star before dark to set up camera for star trails images - yeah I know my smart phone has an app for that), and 2) the USB data cable now has a diffent plug at the camera end (It's a flat thing, not the standard trapezoid plug we're used to) so I have to bring along one more cable than before. I haven't done any controlled tesing and also have not yet read any reviews where they've done controlled testing so I may just be delusional, but so far I'm real happy with the 7d2.
SPARKBOOTH CANON 5D3 ISO
I haven't gone through my images in detail yet but from what I've seen the noise on the 7d doesn't seem to be much different at any particular ISO then the 5d3. I usually had the Canon 24-105 on the 6d3 and either a Tamron 28-300, Canon 10-22, anon 100-400, or Canon 100mm Macro on the 7d2. In fact, where the (effective) focal length I wanted for a shot was in an overlap range between the two bodies I found myself grabbing the 7d2 over the 5d3 many times, especially when there was strong backlight or an overly bright or dark subject.
SPARKBOOTH CANON 5D3 MANUAL
Especially the auto-ISO in Manual Mode with easy Exposure Compensation. I also rarly use live view and also rarely shoot video or use flash all of which are battery drains, I recharge each day's battery overnight each night (when the hotel has electricity).
As long as I can get a whole day's shoot on one charge I'm happy. Half the time I was using a new LP-E6N battery (same form factor and charger as the LP-E6 but a bit more power) and half the time an LP-E6 from my old 7d (I don't have the BG-E16 Battery Grip so it's just the one battery in the base body). There was no day in my trip where I had to go to my 2nd battery during the day, and some days started at 4:00 am and didn't end till 10:00 pm. However, leaving just the GPS image tagging operational all day did not seem to be a power issue. This really drained the battery - especially since the track log recording continues even when the camera goes to sleep - and, I think, when it is powered off as well As I tend to power on my cameras when I leave the hotel in the morning and not power them off till I go to bed that night (after uploading the day's images to my laptop) having the GPS logging on was not an option. But after shooting 50 or so frames I decided to chance it.
On this trip to Central America I had only had the 7d2 for a week before we left which I felt was a bit risky. Now that the 7d's pixel count is similar to the 5d3, I feel much more comfortable grabbing the 7d2 than I did with the 7d. The control layout on the old and new 7d's are for the most part identical to those on the 5d3 so it's a piece of cake continously swapping back and forth. Right now it's the 5d3 and 7d2 (prior to that was the 5d3 and 7d). I tend to carry two bodies when I'm out shooting.
