If I average over enough pixels to get the 7D\'s 100 ISO noise level down to the 40D\'s, will the 7D image have any crop advantage left over the 40D?
Many (including me) asked this question but no one wants to answer it and some are very dismissive.
Surprising comparison results, as far as 40D is concerned
This is the million dollar question that many people are turning a blind eye towards. Did we buy a camera which was marketed as 18mp, but in reality on gives \"good/clean\" images at an effective 10-12mp at lower ISO settings, due to noise? My 7D copy is nowhere near as clean as my 20D at lower ISO settings.
I tend to agree with the premise that the camera was designed for high ISO shooters where it offers certain advantages over other bodies. I\'m going to keep mine for that reason (and a few others), but I sure won\'t do serious landscape work with my copy.
For landscape work, I\'m really looking forward to the successor to the 5Dmk2, whatever they call it (5Dmk3, 3D, etc.). Hopefully that body will arrive sometime later next year, and will be able to produce beautiful clean and SHARP images at LOW ISO.
