Maybe when you are on the limits….will thank for some extra sharpness and low noise..you’r right

I found here mentioned 60D has DIGIC V (not IV). It’s amazing!

I have looked at many images of the 7D and many of them look soft. Run thru flickr and see what people are shooting and more are OOF/soft than not.

I would love to have 18MP (would prefer it on a FF though), but not if the images tend to be softer than other cameras.

Hmm, I hope the noise perf is good. I mean, 18mp on APS-C… what on earth! :P

But the video is really not bad. Com[arable to 7D and 5Dii standards? Well I can see loads of people buying it solely for the video, eg those who are into filming [like me] and want something in between camcorders and shoulder-mounted video cameras… Heh.

I really really really hope to see good still image performance too!

True, very few 550 hard rumours before the event, not sure what spoiler meant by “this model it will get a nice surprise” Like the camera but want to hear some rave reviews before commiting to buy – i’d wanted great ISO – i’m being offered good iso – its so almost there. If prices drop for my birthday in june i’m in at 550.

I’m in Singapore. Waitin and waitin for the 550D. Its funny how announcements are made… then you look back at all the rumours. And laugh at how they were all wrong.

I just bought my 7D after my 50D had been stolen. I thought it’s a good decision but after having read all comments, it seems 7D not as good as it advertised (in terms of noise). Is reducing the pixel size in the camera will solve the problem? For Canon, I expect them to develop new fimrware to solve such problem…

I wonder if an “error” such as 36fps was introduced on purpose so that the origin of the rumour can see which web sites it spreads to.

It’s kind of like deliberate errors being introduced in copy because you know that original sources would not (re)produce the error whereas those doing copy-paste will.

hope it’s not true
i guess a 60D will be a unless camera , there is the 7D

Looks like that we are beating the “image quality” vs higher pixel density to death for no reason again and again. These are the well know facts:
1. higher pixel density does contribute more noise, assuming anything else are equal.
2. higher pixel density does approaching “diffraction limit” at larger aperture opening.
3. higher pixel density will demand excellent lens that can resolve at least 110 lp/mm, which even most the Canon L lens will have problem doing it.
In order to combat problem #1, Canon is using noise reduction on 7D at ALL ISO setting and result in slightly un-sharp picture at pixel level. In order to combat problem #2, users cannot use anything smaller than 5.6 to get the maximum sharpness. in order to combat problem #3. users cannot use even the cheaper L lens. All these solutions are well documented in various test reports that you can find in the CR site.

Someone may argue that user can always down size the picture to 12 or 8 Mp to gain back lower noise and sharper per pixel image. that is true. Then why do we have 18 Mp picture to begin with? We still end up 12 or 8 Mp pictures at the end. We may as well start with a gapless 12 or 8 MP sensor.

For me the idea digital SLR is a camera with all the 7D feature, minus video function and with 12 or even 8 MP gapless sensor. Until Canon comes out with something close to that, I will hang on to me OLD 20D.

Your CR1 source sucks!!

However, If you have a good picture that is also sharp and noise free. It will become a better picture. So would you rather settle for a good picture or a better picture???
