You remind me my favorite shot using the 7D and sigma 856 taken 3 years ago
iso800, f/7.1
The ancient canon sensor is not bad
great shot, but the 7D sensor was pretty terrible to me.. what's the Sigma 856? (a google search revealed nothing)

I have had 5 7Ds, and 2 were noisy (even at low ISO), and 1 of those 2 was just terrible and I sold it after about 2 weeks of ownership. The other 3 were great, and actually seemed to get better with usage. The 7D can be soft if you don't put good glass on it, and it can be noisy if you don't expose properly.
However if you put good glass and shoot middle or to the right, the shots came out very well.
The 70D and 7D2 aren't much better, they hold a bit better detail (presumably due to a weaker AA), and they are only going to be 1/2 to 2/3 stop better, so what does that say about them? (yes I know others are going to argue vehemently against this, but across 5 different independent review sites, along with a plethora of user examples, the average situation is as I call it out). There are good and bad copies of each of these bodies, and I can see how somebody had a bad 7D ISO wise, and a really good 70D, and then draw a conclusion they assume to be fact for all owners, when in fact they are more of a fringe case on either side of the bell curve.
Here is a 100% shot from one of my higher ISO low light shots on my 7D. I have literally thousands of such shots, all the way up to ISO 12800 (which requires a steady hand to process)....Show more →
I don't mean to be offensive when I say this, but both of those 100% shots look "smeared" to me. That's the word that first comes to mind.. Perhaps at low-res (digital sports publication purposes) the 7D would provide acceptable results up to ISO1600, but I cringe at the idea of one of my runway clients attempting to send off a ISO800/1600 &D file for magazine/editorial use. Maybe the 7D I had in my hand was a poor copy..
