this guy was friendly enough to let me shoot a few test shots yesterday . here are iso 800, 3200 and 6400 with no noise reduction applied .

Those are Camera JPEGs or from RAW files?

[sedwards]

they were shot as raw and converted in lightroom . i made a few adjustments to make the light level look the same on all 3 because i had exposure compensation set to 1-1/3 for the first 2 then just 1/3 for the 6400 pic.

These look good....no doubt that for internet viewing the 7D MKII can certainly make useable images at high ISO. I have not attempted any prints......yet.

Just wondering how you guys like the new location (vertically on the right side in the viewfinder eyepiece) of the ELI when shooting in manual?

A friend just bought the 7DMK2 and I was using it for a little bit and couldn't find the ELI....when I did, I didn't like it......but I was just wondering about those of you who have purchased it and using it on a regular basis now.

I remember thinking it was not the same as other bodies I have had when I first started using it. Beyond that when I read this I had to think about it a minute because it I never thought of it as an issue. To me it is a non issue.

I have a harder time remembering the combination of controls to get to little used functions when I switch bodies. Maybe we should complain to Canon and have them standardize all bodies from now on.

I just got my 7D2 last week.- For manual mode I have not adjusted to the little hard to see bar on the right side. In my opinion this is an oversite.
The only benefit.. perhaps is I will now make use of Av, Tv and perhaps custom modes... instead of just shooting manual.

I prefer it at the bottom, but don't use it often. Generally just for getting in the ballpark of the correct exposure when I first arrive somewhere.

No... if you're used to it, you won't want to give up control over shutter speed and/or aperture. Instead you'll dial down the ISO past 100, until it says A. Then you'll run into how annoying it is to change EC when in M mode, and you'll wish the ISO/FEC button was an ISO/EC button when flash isn't activated.

Edit to the above: You can set up the set or the new lever control to be EC when held. The lever+wheel combo is pretty easy to use. Yay!
