I sort of find the 7D performance schizo sometimes. One day you can use ISO 1600 and get fabulous results, and the next time ISO 400 seems noisy even if ETTR'd and the next ISO 400 is very clean. It seems more sensitive to things like back light and critical focus. Slight misfocus seems to exaggerate noise.
The biggest problem comes when you have used the 5DII at least, then 7D files do not seem so good. I try to limit my 7D use to good light and when I need the reach otherwise I use my 5DII or 1DIII. If only the 7D did not have this noise issue, it would be perfect. We have two 7Ds in our house. The other one my husband uses for video. If I can replace mine with a 1D4 I will probably still keep the 7D as the back up video camera as we have found the video on them really good
