The 7D, perhaps uniquely for a DSLR, requires special compensation in conversion and LR 3 Beta does not do it so it makes a mess out of the 7D, just what you found nasty artifacts and noise even in upper tones at low ISO.
Using ACR 5.6 it would\'ve looked a lot better (although it won\'t have the SNR of a FF D700 of course).

I just got a Nikon D700 (used) + a 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 VR from my regular shop to try out. Running a Trial NX2 for Nikon PP
I still like the 7D Body, the Industrial Design of this Body is 10/10. Take the sensor out and replace with a Mk4 Sensor and you have a Nikon Slayer. And will probably put SONY range of FF DSLR to RIP.
I think there is too much marketing decision that screw all these products up.

I sold my 7D after 1000 shots over 5 days. The base ISO 100 starts off with noises........this it not good. We can argue that we can run PP to remove these noises? But when U pixel peel..it\'s rady bad.....it\'s unacceptable comparing to my 1DMkIII or 5D MkII or even 50D
The ID Design from a handling standpoint is \"EXCELLENT\". How I wish 5D MKII was design to grip and operate like the 7D.
Canon should have put the 1D Mk4 sensor into the 7D. I\'ll buy the 7D even it\'s cost anotther $1000 more with a 1D MK4 Sensor.
Bottom-Line.......the sensor is a let down.
Bear in mind we talking about quality of DSLR as a package and NOT THE POST PROCESSING TOOLS THAT MAKE THIS CAMERA WORKS!

Its lab tests have confirmed that not only is it less noisy than any of its predecessors (a full 30% less noise at 3200 ISO than the 50D, for example - and half the noise at 12,800 ISO - half!) but also that it has better resolution than any other APS-C body out there.
What do they say about 100 to 400 ISOs? That\'s the range where people seem to be complaining the most.
did you use ACR 5.6?
