Back on page 125 or 126 of this thread, I posted some images that showed some artifacting in 7D images. It was pretty bad. Well ... since than I have done a couple of firmware updates on my 7D. In addition, I have been processing my 7D images with the latest version of C1 (v5).
Anyway, my 7D is now producing fantastic images. I don\'t know what caused the artifacting on those original images. It is still in the files so the camera was malfunctioning. I\'m just going to assume the camera failed for some reason and is OK now.
To try and illustrate what this camera is capable of I created the comparisons in the link below. The 7D images run down the LEFT side. The 5DII images run down the RIGHT side. I was just trying to see if there were any problems in these files (I was NOT trying to compare sharpness ... I may come back and create a sharpness comparison over the next day or so). Images were processed with default settings in C1 (which included sharpening, noise reduction, etc.). I include purple fringe removal on the 85mm 7D shots.
The 7D images were shot with an 85mm f/1.8 at f3.5. The 5DII images were shot with a 135mm f/2 at f/4. All images were shot handheld (no tripod). The 7D is way easier and quicker to get something AF\'ed. I used one of the off center AF points on the 7D and the center AF point on the 5DII ... again, my only goal with this is to show that artifacting is not an issue.
