Hi Bob,
With all of the recent 7D Mark II beta test reports, I’m wondering if you have formed an opinion on how you think the new camera will perform?
Do you have any plans/timing to test the camera?
Would you expect this camera to effectively focus for Birds in Flight with an ef300 f/2.8L IS Mark II and 2X Mark III extender?
Regards,
Marc

I'm sure the 7D MkII will perform well but I can't say for sure until I get one to test. It's on my request list and I expect Canon will loan me one to test when they become a bit more available. Can't say when that will be.
I can't really comment on BIF performance with a 300/2.8 MkII and 2x MkIII because I don't have either one and so won't be able to test that combination. From all I've read it should be better than the current 7D though. Whether it will equal the 5D MkIII or 1D-X is difficult to guess.

There is a very positive, (but very technical) review of the 7D mk II and comparison to the Original 7D,
Here:http://www.clarkvision.com/reviews/evaluation-canon-7dii/index.html
I'm not certain I got it all, but it's worth a look. I'd be interested in Bob's coments ( if you have any interest in interpreting it for us)
He anticipates it being a great AstroPhotography camera as well.
