Roger Cicala has done it again. Another innocent camera has fallen victim to this madman's camera dissection craziness. But it was for a good cause -- namely to see whether Canon's claim that the 7D Mark II's weather sealing was "4 times better" than on the original 7D would hold up to scrutiny. And hold up it did indeed. In a recent blog post over at LensRentals.com, Cicala takes us on a tour through the crammed-jammed innards of Canon's new APS-C flagship camera. Though Cicala's disassembly of the Canon 7D Mk II might seem somewhat sadistic to diehard fans of the brand, it reveals some interesting facts about the camera's design and construction. For one, the 7D Mk II has many more and much thicker rubber gaskets around key body parts as compared to its predecessor, corroborating Canon's claim of superior water and dust resistance. The body parts in question include the viewfinder, the tripod mount, the camera's knobs, buttons and dials, the flaps that cover the camera's I/O ports, and the outer body's individual parts
