  1. The big question for me as somebody primarily interested in wildlife and sports photography is how well a 32.5MP APS-C sensor will cope at ISO's above 1600.
    With DxO PL PRIME noise reduction it will be good enough for significant cropping at iso1600.
    With those specs and spot AF to boot, it's on my purchase list, hopefully for my next trip in November. Paired with the 100-400mm II it should be pretty awesome for bird photography.

    I'd love to know what converter people who ask this question are using...

    :rolleyes:

    (And if it's about the old and utterly discredited meme that more pixels = more noise, just no...)

    This is 10,000 ISO from my 7D Mk II (1000mm handheld, too), converted in Photo Ninja (way better than DxO Photolab - and a damn' sight faster), with no additional NR in PP (click on it for bigger):




    I'm rarely below 1600 ISO, and with Photo Ninja I consider 400 ISO and 4000 ISO to be same thing in terms of how the end result will look...

    Weird. I didn't see the picture in the post, but replying to your post I see the picture in the edit window. Very nice and sharp with very little noise. Nice!

    Yep, and I expect the 90D to be approaching a stop better.

    At the same reproduction size (not percent) it will be no worse and probably better than any previous Canon.
  6. This could be a great option for me. I currently use my 6D for everything, and it's kind of rough shooting BiF (I'm sure film wildlife shooters from the past would feel very sorry for me! ;)). I use the 100-400ii, but I also own both the 1.4x and 2x TC, but those mostly get used for moon photos due to f/8 AF limits on the 6D. I understand that the 90D would give me a the equivalent of a glassless 1.6x TC. I'm curious if it would retain AF with either the 1.4x or 2X . The 2x would be pushing usability anyway, but I'm still curious.

    On the other hand, as the R comes down in price, that is a more attractive single body solution. As much as I love the low light performance of my 6D, I am finally getting god enough at Milky Way photos to be DR limited. Users here have reported acceptable AF performance using the 100-400ii+2x TC, which would level the BiF playing field between the R and 90D+1.4x. But in addition I'd presumably get more DR for recovering shadows in the foreground of my Milky Way photos.

    So my current hypothetical dilemma is to consider a dual body solution (6D + 90D) or a single body solution (R).
  7. This looks really appealing. Waiting for price info and maybe some video samples/tests, but should be great replacement for two 70D's I use for certain projects. Really wish the 5D4 would get this 4K recording mode, even at crop...
  8. As a customer who buys from them even though they don't listen, it's frustrating that they don't! We have consistently asked to be brought up to atleast par with other cameras from 4 years ago. 2 card slots and 4k 60 would have easily sold me on this, unfortunately, I will not be getting this now.

    Good posting and with proof. BTW is this a Red-backed Vole?
  10. As a customer who buys from them even though they don't listen

    Why should they listen to you?

    When have you ever actually spoken to a Canon executive with the power to make you your perfect camera?
    We have consistently asked to be brought up to at least par with other cameras from 4 years ago

    Who's this "we"?

    And - again - who did you ask?

    (Banging on about something on an internet forum is not "asking Canon...")
