The football shot is too grainy to be a keeper for me. And while the cheer shots in the other thread are nice, the skin tones look unusual. msauk's image is great, but I also realize he didn't have to freeze any action.
I shoot a 20D and even 800 is sometimes questionable. If I buy a new camera at some point will the 7D be a noticeable upgrade or should I look at something used. While I am an enthusiast who sometimes uses the camera to make money I'm not ready to go with something for just sports or just portraits - I'd like the flexibility to continue shooting a little bit of everything. Thanks for your help....Show more →
I just went from a 20D to a 7D. I see a huge difference. I also did not like ISO 800 on the 20D. The tracking between the two is like night and day too. I feel more comfortable using higher ISO on the 7D. I do have some advise for you though. Do not dwell on peeping at 100%. I thought I saw more noise than what I should, but once sized correctly, it is pretty clean. And you can crop a huge amount, before you get to the size of the 20D files.
