6D and crop feature

[Marsu42]

Canon PR has stated repeatedly "if you want reach/crop etc, do it in post; if you want smaller files use SRAW".

Hard to believe if Canon produces gimmicks in-camera hdr or multishot-nr. Of course in-camera cropping would be convenient if you realize your lens doesn't have enough reach and don't want to produce trash data in the raw file that rests in peace on your hard disk. It's just that cropping from 22mp doesn't leave very much, but with a high-mp body it surely would make sense.

Of course "post" has come to mean the in-camera crop tools as well. I'm specifically referring to the ability to "turn off" most of the sensor in the interest of getting more "reach" (which has been hashed out here to death) or speeding up the FPS, à la Nikon.

If you compare the mount of an EF-S with an EF lens, you can see a plastic ring around the inner lens which prevents the EF-S from being mounted on a Canon FF.
Of course crop can be done in post production, but it would be quite interesting to be able to interchange lenses in both ways: If someone (like "paulgmccabe") uses primarely an APS-C-sensor camera (I guess cause of the crop for more tele), he/she still might want to have a second camera-body. So why not choose a FF!? At Nikon you wouldn't be in that urgent need to upgrade all your glasses to FF, of course loosing MPx while croping - but that's saving costs and maybe sometimes extra kilos carrying around two types of lenses.
Once again I have to admit, well done Nikon!

My biggest reluctance with getting a 7D is only the low light performance where it badly trails behind the likes of the D7000.

i cant see a huge difference in iq between d7000 and 7d sensor at high iso (2/3 of stop...maybe) and is AF, shutter lag, speed and so on the 7d is a better camera than d7000/d300s.

Not quite correct, there is a noticeable difference sensor-wise between Canon's 18mp and that sony 16mp across the whole spectrum, more so in Pentax's implemenation.
Plus 7d & d300 have the same fps and actually 7d has the worst shutter lag of all 3 (.45 vs .54 vs .64) and despite its price its a single drive camera without spot linked meter. Having said that, i like the responsiveness of 7d's AF, the reach and the build but i've never recommended it cause there is just not a single iso setting without noise
