Greetings, I enjoy shooting in darkness and painting with light. Not uncommon for me to use 10 or 20 second exposures or more. I generally will use a hand held flash light, or pop a strobe by hand. HOW best can I keep noise down with my new 7D Mk II? Thoughts, comments or suggestions please.

I sent you a private message. Near the upper-right corner of the web page there's a tiny red envelope icon you can click to access private messages.
As of about 2 days ago (I think) I noticed the Canon community site takes an extremely long time to load a page -- making the site unusable. But I've been re-checking about once per day in hopes that the issue would be resolved (so far it's still not resolved.) Consequently, I have not been very active.
(Incidentally, for those who support the site ... I was suspicious that it might be my machien, or a browser plug-in, etc. I've tried switching browsers, switching computers, and I've even tried when I'm away from the house on a different network (e.g. using the iPad). It doesn't seem to matter what I use or from where... the painfully long load times persists.)
I suspect that the forum site has been caught up in the problems of the new Canon site, which hit the street last week hideously buggy and nowhere near ready for prime time. Since yesterday evening I've been seeing the slowness you report (although truthfully I haven't found it to be quite as bad as you suggest), as well as another problem you didn't mention: legends at the top and bottom of each page announcing that:
"We're sorry, the page you're looking for cannot be found.

Yes, there are problems with the site. And we all struggle with it. Someone please tell me how to post a photo, or photos to this thread. Thank you. Tm

It's one of the icons in the taskbar when you originate or reply to a message.

Robert, a link please?
It should be in your Instruction Manual. Apparently the Canon Web siite is screwed up again, so I can't find a link to it. But if the site ever comes back to life, you might be able to poke around and find it.
In one approach that I took, I was able to find the 5D3 manual, but it told me there were no manuals for the 7D2. The Canon site used to be fine. Why on earth didn't they just leave well enough alone?
