I've got around 250 LP's in a plastic container in the basement, where they've been awaiting the starting of my project to record them onto CD. By the time I do that, I'll be so old that I won't be able to hear them anyway.
Forget recording them on to CD's (which are rapidly becoming as obsolete as the LP's) buy yourself a turntable & listen to the full richness of analog!

Excellent piece of advise. My collection of LPs is growing.

Both images where shot equally, one minute apart from each other, except that I had the 7D at 10mm(16mm) and the 5D2 at 17mm. I used on the 7D the 10-22 Canon lens and on the 5D2 I used the 16-35L v1 lens.
Thanks for the real in-the-field comparison. This shows that a 1.6x crop body suffers from diffraction well before a full frame sensor body (you're using f16). The only thing I might do differently is use the same lens (16-35) on both bodies and change position to frame the scene equally rather than using different lenses or zooming to eliminate that variable. I've passed on the 5DmkII, but it is truly performing very well here in the small f-stop landscape roll.

I will go out this week and do the test as you suggest and will post my results, thanks for the suggestion.
Bryan Carnathan likes the camera a lot ... and confirms the softness.
Let's see what the defenders of the faith are going to say this time .
He's a very experienced reviewer.
DLA (Diffraction Limited Aperture) is the result of a mathmatical formula that approximates the aperture where diffraction begins to visibly affect image sharpness at the pixel level. Diffraction at the DLA is only barely visible when viewed at full-size (100%, 1 pixel = 1 pixel) on a display or output to a very large print. As sensor pixel density increases, the narrowest aperture we can use to get perfectly pixel sharp images gets wider
Any camera will shoot landscapes. Isn't this obvious? Everything depends on your desired final outcome and presentation. What are you trying to accomplish?

Since I'am looking for an upgrade from 40D I am looking for the confirmation that the landscape image that I can create/get from a 7D will be at least equivalent to the one I can get from my 40D today
