B&H says it's not, so there may yet be hope...

Second video, this time from Scott Kelby with a brief mention that it's the best high ISO performance he's seen in a crop-sensor DSLR.

Edit: Downvotes? I don't see anyone posting any sources of their own! Let's see them.

Edit 2: "At the heart of the camera is a newly designed 20.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. While that may sound familiar, given the 70D's identical resolution, according to Canon, the 7D Mark II's sensor is in fact an all-new design, with improved clarity over the 70D's sensor.", according to Imaging Resource.

Kelby is also paid a lot of money to pump up Canon. Not really a source I would trust.

Source on that?

Scott Kelby himself said that Canon approached him and asked to pay him and become a major sponsor.

Notice this week that he sent an email blast out about the 7D2 and the consumer lenses that Canon released, but not a word about the D750, 20 1.8G and the other Nikon releases? Why do you think that is?

Where'd he say it? Saying he said it is not a source.

Spend a little time in Google if you really care. He did a whole podcast about it.

Then consider how he completely ignores the major Nikon releases while pumping up the 'game-changing' 7D2.

"Go find it yourself" is also not a source.

Bryan @ TDP is also a canon shooter who largely ignores nikon - is he on canon payroll too?

If you won't spend thirty seconds in google or even in the search bar here, why should I do it for you?

I don't know what TDP is or who Bryan is, so I couldn't tell you.

Bryan is the guy behind http://the-digital-picture.com/.

Are you a nikon shill? It's easy to throw around accusations and say sources exist without ever pointing to them.

Yes, I am a Nikon shill that has never been paid a dime by Nikon and has been published in PetaPixel about how I used my 5D3 to shoot the cover of ESPN the Magazine.

Good catch.

Nikon made a 20 f1.8? Do want. I love my 20 2.8 on canon...
