Quoting ckw (Reply 1): Canon seems to have done very little work in sensor development over the last 10 years. Compared to the sensors Sony and others are producing, Canon is a full generation - maybe 2 - behind the times. |
Quoting angad84 (Reply 3): I'm honestly quite pleased with the specs on this release, and if the reviews and early adopters don't throw up a load of red flags, I expect to purchase one shortly. I shan't be retiring my 50D (still thing it's the most ergonomically sorted camera Canon ever made) but having a new beast as my primary shooter will be nice. |
Quoting vikkyvik (Reply 5): I'd much rather get a used 5D2 or 6D, simply for the full-frame sensor, than a new 7D2. I'm much more interested in significantly improved high-ISO / low-light performance than in faster burst speed, more/better AF points, more pixels, etc. |
Quoting angad84 (Reply 7): I shoot full frame every now and then and I'm always struck by how dramatic the crop factor change is. You know how it works on paper, but shooting aircraft in flight at 400mm on FF is no fun, regardless of the image quality you get. |
Quoting angad84 (Reply 7): It's cleaner from ISO 100-1600 than even the 7D |
Quoting vikkyvik (Reply 8): For airshows, I'm sure FF would be a pain in my neck, but shouldn't be too big an issue for regular shooting around LAX. |
Quoting vikkyvik (Reply 8): I've always heard that the 7D isn't the cleanest at low ISO |
Quoting vikkyvik (Reply 8): I'm afraid it would be similar to ISO6400 or 12800 on my 50D, which I basically never use. |
Quoting ckw (Reply 10): More serious in my mind is the lack of latitude in the shadows |
Quoting angad84 (Reply 11): This is just a sensor characteristic. If you're a Canon shooter, expose to the right. |
Quoting ckw (Reply 17): Hmm - I can't say I'm very impressed by the 6400 ISO example - ok noise is low, but it looks very processed with smeared detail (look at the trees). |
Quoting Bruce (Reply 19): I do think that the 50D is inferior in quality to these newer products though - enough to be visible. |
