7D Real!

[Chuck Lee]

I'd be shocked if the 7D has anywhere near the high iso performance of the 5DII since the 5DII's sensor is 2 1/2 times as large (unless you're talking about comparing at similar dof f/ stops... ie compare the 7D at f/2 with the 5DII at f/3.5, in which case the 7D may have the edge)

Jon, Explain....... what the heck are you talking about?Are you saying that sensor noise is a function of aperture?


Rob Galbraith has some high ISO comparison images shot with an 85 f1.2 @ f1.8 of the same event with the 5D MkII and 7D (beta). Are you saying that if he had shot the 5D at f2.8 instead of f1.8 the ISO would have tobe increased for same exposure, resulting in more noise? If that's what you mean then the answer is clear from these sample photos. The 5D MkII still kicks butt and takes names. ISO 3200 to me looks much cleaner then the 7D at ISO1600. That's a one stop advantage.

High ISO performance is going to be a big decider.

After seeing a sample of images from the 7D I would say if your a jpeg shooter your going to be OK. It'll be interesting to see if third party raw development software can compete with DigicIV for cleanliness. After all is said and done,FF for low light is still #1.


I hope the guys at dpreview do a noise comparison chart.

The guy in the movie (upper right) looks like the guy from Reverie by Vincent Laforet. I wonder if he (Laforet)put that one together.

I posted this link earlier in this thread.


Try downloading some pics from the 5DmkII or the 1DsMkIII here


One of these cameras will likely be my next upgrade from my 5D.

Uuuups...I missed it? Well, may be someone else did it too...[]

Click here to see shots above ISO 100.Keep clicking and you'll get a 100% version. No idea how it compares to any other DSLR... that's what I'm hoping all of you will comment on.

Jon, Explain....... what the heck are you talking about?

A fair question.

Are you saying that sensor noise is a function of aperture?

Not directly, of course. But if you want to take a picture in a given amount of light with a given shutter speed, then yes- if you stop down, you'll have to use higher iso, so it'll be noiser.

Are you saying that if he had shot the 5D at f2.8 instead of f1.8 the ISO would have tobe increased for same exposure, resulting in more noise?

Oh, yeah. That's what I meant.[]


In other words, there are two comparisons one can make. One can compare amount of noise of a picture taken in the same amount of light with same shutter speed and same f/ number (ideally, this would be just comparing pictures shot at a given iso). However, the full frame camera will have a smaller depth of field.


The other comparison is to compare amount of noise of a picture taken in the same amount of light with same shutter speed and same depth of field (ie, the f/number for the full frame camera is 1.6 times as large as the f/number for the 1.6fovcf camera). To get the same shutter speed at this larger f number, the full frame camera would have a higher iso- but in some sense it is a fair comparison. I suppose if you're always shooting wide open, the former is a fair comparison. If you are always stopping down because you need more DOF, the latter is. Reality is somewhere between for most of us, probably.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but its a short clip of the 7D showing off its in camera leveling, AF points in action, and best of all the 8FPS which sounds awesome! The shutter sounds completely different then what Im used too.


Thanks

P.S. If someone has already posted this sorry in advance.

Jon, Can I make a bumper sticker with this saying? LOL LOL []


Just Love It!!
