It would be really great if you could post equal areas from iso 100 images taken with 20D and 7D so that we can see how much noisier the 7D really is. Otherwise I just have to assume that you got an impression of greater noise by viewing both files at 100%. An 18 Mpixel file can LOOK noisier at 100% than an 8 Mpixel file at 100%, but BE less noisy when printed to a given size. So far I\'ve seen no evidence that the 7D at 100 iso is actually noisier per square inch of print than your 20D. Personally I always found that my 5D benefitted slightly from a little added noise at low isos because it could look a bit plastic. There is a difference between fine even textural noise and noise that damages the image. For that reason I am not yet convinced that the 7D produces worse pictures at iso 100 than your 20D. Please show us.
i\'d be surprised if it is in any way worse than a 20D, at worst you could always downsize all the way from 18MP to 8MP or apply a lot of special NR to get rid of artifacts, and that is in the worst case scenario
