p.7 #17D: The bottom line
The 7D benefits more from the use of Adobe's Standard profile than any Canon camera I've ever used.
I have just about given up on using DPP with this camera, something I thought I'd never say... (with the 5D2 I have the opposite preference).

I find the same thing. I've been a huge DPP fan for my 5D, 5D2 and 1D2n files but find that ACR, especially ACR 6, does a much better job with my 7D RAW files. I haven't actually tried any 5D2 files yet - I've been too busy messing around with 7D files. I'm not a huge fan of the 7D's image quality (love the camera build/functionality, etc. tho) but with ACR I think I'll be OK.
Cheers!

LR2 was as good as DPP for the any camera I've owned as far as IQ. LR3 is even better especially for detail extraction and for NR. C1 Pro 5 is also excellent.
7D IQ can be superb when you get it right - it does not like underexposure or crappy glass.

It definitely seems that the ACR in CS5 is better then the old ACR in CS4. Kind of sucks that you cannot get the ACR for CS5 in CS4. This is a disturbing new trend that started with CS3. Adobe getting greedy?

It certainly seems like it. It sounds, looks and feels like Adobe twisting our arms to buy their "latest and greatest".

This is a routine 7D shot that I picked more or less at random (with the criteria in lightroom of not being rated high). I have not bothered with it at all as I had better shots, but it's probably a good candidate for cropping and it's a nice demonstration of the servo AF.
The lens used was the 70-200/II, 200mm, f/4 and 1/1000s. ISO 100

RAW File
I'll throw in a higher ISO (ISO 800) image as well. Again a picture chosen for its mediocre rating:

Well denoir while I don't have your skill I am left with no more doubts about 7D low ISO noise and blue sky. Excuse me I think I just drooled all over my keyboard.
Peter your post have a knack for bring out the best in the Canon forum.
Best regards to all

Thank you for the kind words Rusty. Those were routine shots, but since you liked them, here is one that I rated higher:
