I doubt that the 7d2 raw will be more than 1 stop better than the 60d. Most of the gain in low light is as a result of better raw or jpg processing.
I expect that the ISO performance will be about a stop. So if you were only happy at iso 500 or below, maybe you might push it to 1000 or 1250.
That said:
1) With good light (diffused, and with the light behind me) and proper exposure, I have got pictures I am happy with to iso3200 on 7d. I comportably go to iso 1250. Lighting and exposure is critical.
2) The 7d2 will have a burst of 31 raw, 5s clear, 10fps, and much better focus delivery than you current camera. If you shoot animals in motion, this is a great add compared to 60d
If you really want to shoot at high iso though, either buy 5diii (great focus, ff, 2 stops better, 6fps) or 1dx (12fps, 2 stops better). Bigger pixels count.
I am buying the 7d2 for reach and 10fps; and modest improvement as compared to my 7d. But I expect that my 5diii will continue to be my go to camera except when reach limited. One of the challenges of 7d was that it had noisy iq that reqired processing. I am hoping this is solved in 7d2.
Perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised with the iso performance of 7d2 but I doubt it. Even the Nikons (sony) do not perform much better at high iso and the best nikon crop is not much better than 7d at higher iso....Show more →
Long time love/hate relationship here with the 7D. Agree proper exposure critical to noise in these file. Next for me it came to a lot of experimenting with later versions of ACR to get the best files.
Good news 7D2 improved metering is taughted (we shall see) and RAW files are said to be similar to 70D. The 70D RAW files need a whole lot less effort in ACR to maximize.
Files should be a nice step up from 7D, not so much from 70D/D7100.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
