Nobody. The OP asked a question, but its like trying to explain something to a 5yr old.
Knock yourselves out. The 7D is miles better than the 1D3 at anything it does. Its the best camera Canon has ever made to date. Its image quality even beats the 1DsIII.
The 100% crops dont mean anything to the sharpness/detail it produces. Ignore the results at 100%, because detail at that level is irrelevant.
Now you 7D owners dont need to spend $$$$ on 1 Series anymore, you can now get the 7D for a fraction of that.
Congratulations. I\'ve got real photo work to do.
Go do it then, you said you were through with this, twice now.
You know nobody said the IQ of a 7D was superior AFAIK. they only said it would produce more detail. And you are the one arguing about detail and not overall IQ.
You say downsampled images from a 7D don\'t count yet for downsampled 1D3 shots of Kinglets, you say \"NOW thats detail. Look at these images,there isnt a 7D out there that has shown this. These images are sharp, the feathers look like feathers and they look like you can just touch them\". In fact, I don\'t think those Kinglet shots show any great detail, and I don;t think the Night Heron shows any detail. Perhaps it is just because they are downsampled. You are just betraying your bias.
And for the downsampled, oversharpened (and with little real detail) 30D images you say \"These 30D images IMO still look better than what I have seen so far from 7D\". You can\'t have it both ways.
You say its like explaining something to a 5 year old but you haven;t explained anything. You just made unfounded statements.
And I am not a 7D owner, but a 1D3 owner btw, but I don;t feel threatened.
the reason why you don;t see many 100% crops from 7D owners is 1) there are hardly any 7D owners yet and 2) They are probably out shooting their camera as you suggest.
