This thread is a lot like two roaches meeting in the middle of the night, rubbing antlers in a corner, only to move along afterwards.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 7D - How bad is it? Really?

« on: January 23, 2013, 11:33:29 AM »

The 7D is a pleasure to use. It's a great camera. However, the high iso noise performance is not comparable to full frame camera's.

Images shot at iso 3200 and 6400 (please shoot RAW) need processing to reduce noise (Adobe Camera RAW does a great job) but are very usable unless (1) the images are underexposed or (2) you intend to print the images large.

For me the 7D has always delivered. Even at high iso's.

That is the plain & simple truth of it all.

how is that for a 7 grands body?

A hell of a lot better than not being able to see the black ones.

The 1Dx does not offer only 1stop of improvement. It offers speed and reliability and these are what a professional photographer needs.

I do not know (or care) in which thread these declarations were made and how many people had written so.
However, your comments imply a kind of satisfaction and "revenge"  and they are rather childish.  Enjoy your 1Dx

1. It's abilities I know well.

2. That's what I thought of all the comments by 5D3 owners at the time. Just rubbin' it back on 'em after the "salt bath" of every 1DX thread in the past. A classic Eddie Murphy & the bread sandwich syndrome ...

3. Know that I AM a photographer ... & Thank you.
I will.

You get what you pay for .... never fails.

Funny how the 5DMK3 owners couldnt be happier with the decision they made not long ago (5DMK3 instead of "overpiced 1DX) .... Now, all of a sudden, the monetarily ugly child in the family gets a little exra attention and the pretty daughters start whinning. 

Happy with MY decision of a 1DX ... and throwing it back on all of those who blasted it for one reason or another.

So 5DMK3 is a cheap camera that does not have to be updated?

I dont know about the "Updated" part but, back when all of the new 5D3 owners felt like they got a great deal because there was only a 1-1.5 stop difference between the 5D3 and the 1DX .... and it was an unnecessary expense for frame rate only, the 5D3 owners thought they stole something from Canon. 

I see a lot of 5D3's being sold soon if Canon says no to the "pretty daughters".
