Am I the only one not very impressed? The 50D already shows the limits of noise and resolution on the small sensor. The 7D will have more pixels, and even if the noise level is the same, what good is the difference?
EBH I bought a 500D as a kick around and although I would say that it is a great little camera in lots of ways the lack of fine detail (without sharpening a lot) makes me wonder just what the 7d files are going to look like at 18 million pixels.. It's too early to say anything definitive, but the JPEG samples at the Imaging Resource site are encouraging. They seem considerably sharper than the 50D/500D equivalents, which indicates to me that the 7D is applying less NR to the images at equivalent ISO settings.
You are aware that the 500D is applying NR to your files even at ISO 100? This also happens to RAW files by default in DPP (though you can turn this off). This is one reason that files from these cameras can seem soft compared to other models.
Yeh! aware of that but shooting raw and converting in ACR with everything turned off is not adding noise reduction?? and I stand by what I said about lack of fine detail, but maybe the 7D will be better, who really knows till you get your own images onto your own computer and compare.
You notice that Canon has dropped the pixels down to 10million on the G11.
