Ditto. The ISO performance on the current 7D is my only real complaint.
I would
love to know what you people are doing with your 7Ds that make you complain about its high ISO/low light performance - I routinely use mine
well into four figure ISOs with no problems whatsoever.
This is absolutely typical of what my 7D does at high ISO -
5000 ISO, 1/25 at f/4 (proper low light then), handheld at 420mm while I was messing around with my then-new Siggy 120-300mm f/2.8 OS + 1.4x TC (yes, the stabilisation is
this good).
Converted in Lr 3, resized/tweaked/selectively sharpened in Photoshop.
What's wrong with it? 5000 ISO not high enough?
How about
6400 ISO?
8500 ISO?
12800 ISO?
Exif is in all of them - they're all low light and handheld.
Seriously, people - if you can't do this with your 7D,
it ain't the camera...
