Scott and Cody -
You bring up some interesting points. First, I use CS5.1 and would prefer not having to upgrade. Do you lose anything by converting from RAW to DNG?
I use Photo Mechanic for quick review and cropping of game shoots. I wonder if it can handle the 70D RAW files or DNG files?
My experience with 7D ISO more closely matches Cody's. I have tried using high ISO shooting dance recitals indoors and the results were very noisy. I try to go no higher than 800 on my 7D. If the 70D is really noise free at 1600 and usable at 3200, that would be a big selling point.
I assume the smaller/slower buffer of the 70D is less of an issue shooting in JPEG mode? If this is true I could switch to JPEG when I want to go machine gun style.
Everyone talks about the 70D build quality. I have owned the original Rebel, 20D, 40D and now the 7D. Is the 70D able to handle 1,000-2,000 pictures a month?
Video is pretty important to me, but I wonder if I should be looking at a separate solution for this. I have a JVC Everio HD camcorder that is OK. The video from my 7D looks much better when in focus. I really want to get high quality slow-motion for baseball. I know this is a bit off topic, but would I be better off with the 7D/70D 60 fps in HD then slowing down in post or finding a camera that shoots 120 or 240 fps at lower quality? So much to consider! ...Show more →
If you look at dxomark iso sensor ratings you would find that the 70d is marginally (not visible with the human eye) different in iso capability. I doubt it will be a stop better. I get very useable pictures with my 7d to 3200 too but the light has to be behind me and the exposure has to be perfect. I suspect the 70d is the same. Don't upgrade for iso capability. If you want iso capability buy the 5diii.
if you compare pophoto - they rate 7d as okay to 6400 vs 70d okay to 3200 which would surprise most. In other words - they are basically the same for iso.

don't upgrade for the iso or the iq
Heavily backlit 7d at high iso and -37 degrees from last weekend - it does okay
