The jpegs are just not sharp.. what the heck is going on? I only shoot RAW and have never really shot JPEG out of camera with the Mk2... is this representative of results? I have a couple wedding photog friends who only shoot JPEG... I would never allow clients images like this.

It really boils down to what in-camera sharpening they have the camera set at for jpegs and NR settings... If you set the 5d2 at 0 for sharpening or even -1, and especially the 7D, you would get pictures like this if not worse in jpeg. With the 5d2 I typically have +1 sharpening and shoot my 7d is +5 sharpening... In raw, these dont apply as much, well they do in DPP but is seen as more of a preset which is adjustable further in DPP in case you dont like what you originally set it at.

OMG. Thats the decision maker for. I will definitely switch to Nikon. Looks like from compact camera. There's nothing to wait for (test, reviews). It shows clearly what Canon did with it's SUPER digic5+....sad.

Well maybe sad...
Maybe it can be disabled in the menu ?

Well for me no Issue I NEVER take JPG's.
If for some reason I have made a wrong exposure or whatever there is MUCH more to save with a RAW file.

Maybe Canon expected more people to use RAW files with a 3500 EURO DSLR....
But indeed the JPG are a bit dissapointed ( so where the 5D Mark II jpg and we know how good this DSLR is) , but maybe the sharpness setting was at 0 ???

i think sharpness will be better or same like 5d2, i just had a look at 5d2 samples from canon site ..they don't look sharp either so better not to jump into conclusion for now. i hope 5D3 will be better or just as good as 5d2 interms of sharpness

You're willing to get rid of a camera system (including, presumably, lenses) based on the default setting that JPEGs are set at because it's not to your taste, before you get a chance to see what the situation is with the camera.

Up to you of course, but it seems a touch ... early maybe :)

For what it's worth, i combed through the exif, assuming everything is correct... he shot in single AF mode, but not the micro single AF. Unknown where it was focused on per se, but it said 30 AF points were in focus. His metering was evaluative and his in-camera jpeg settings was large fine, which isn't the full version large... so it probably has some compression loss. It has a sharpness number of 3. The 7d has sharpness settings up to 7, but it is unknown what the sharpness settings are fully on the 5d3 since they changed it up slightly, but i would guess it would be up to 7 like previous models. Many have said the raws look good sharpened and my 7d for instance, on this setting is like 5, so I wouldn't panic until we see final production, final firmware, etc... If that is enough to make you jump ship, good luck and hope the door doesn't hit ya where the good lord split ya.

I wouldn't fret over these sample images. They show nothing besides jpeg quality, which to me is as worthless as a pair of flip-flops in a blizzard.

If you look at the pictures of the teenage girl wearing the blue/turquoise dress, view at 100% or whatever and look at the details on her elbows, fingernails, skin. These are pretty sharp. What more can we expect, from a jpeg?

Relax and wait until you get your own 5d3 in hand and shoot raw. thats the real judge

Sorry for my earlier post. I didn't see the RAW (CR2) files to be downloaded. How could I miss those??

I will go home and open in DPP. Then, and only then, can I pixel peep and scrutinize every freaking fine detail!!

But I promise to keep my opinion to myself. It's better for me, anyway. And for the record, I am still amazed at what the 5dII can do. It's hard to best a living legend, my friends.
