70D Sample photos ISO 100-25600

[Darlip]

Not sure if it has been posted before, but here is a link to a polish site with test shots ranging from ISO 100-25600.

Canon EOS 70D + EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, JPEG with in-camera noisereduction off and lowest sharpening.

Same scene on the 60D and 7D further down on these links:

Wow, it's so disappointing to look at these images

Canon must have forgot that this is primarily a stills camera. The 7D II with a high MP count and the same tech would really suck.

"The pictures were traditionally made at the lowest level of sharpening and noise reduction off." Wow what more people want from 70D.

: how much more ignorant can you be about the new features for the xxD line, as well as the way canon operates?

Probably not as much as you do who want all the feature of xD line but doesn't want to pay for.

 

[thelebaron]

Right, so gaining features from the xD line at a lower price point is a bad thing. I also have a 5d3, but yeah id love a 1dx and not pay for it, who wouldnt :

I'm looking at the ISO 6400 example between all three camera, and I see virtually no difference. Although, if I may say so, in some areas the 7D looks sharper than the 70D, but there are a variety of factors to consider. In some areas, the lighting or reflections are not exactly the same, so that can skew the results.

Thinking about it though, since the megapixels have increased in the 70D, the image quality has had to improve to some degree to keep up with the 60D and 7D.

Next, I looked at the ISO 100 example between the 70D and 7D, and saw virtually no difference either. Maybe in some cases some of the colors were better in the 70D, but that's really just clutching at straws.

Both the 7D and 70D appear to provide the same image quality is what I'm seeing.

How can you run tests... and not isolate the variable of ambient light. Weird.

 

[poias]

Folks, this proves that Canon sensor is lagging way behind the competition. If you want shitty image quality, Canon is your choice. Until Canon customers speak up and demand quality, they are happy selling the suckers mediocre sensors and crappy IQ.

Someone kill your dog earlier in the day? We are just talking about camera gear. You shouldn't take it so personally.

Lets be realistic here, is the image quality "actually" crappy, or is it just everyone's expectations have far exceeded the end results?

 

[raptor3x]

Do the 7D shots have some noise reduction applied? There's way less color noise in that shot than I remember at ISO 6400.

 

[noncho]

We need RAW samples...

But seems like it's nothing more than better noise reduction, Canon needs new manufacturing process for sensors.

At 3200 iso it doesn't look so bad at all, what did you expect, the result of 2000/2800 € FF bodies (6D and 5D mark III) on a 1100 € crop body, are you serious

At least it should be comparable with Nikon/Sony counterparts.

Yes it was, feel free to use search

+1, same for me, we cannot be sure until a raw converter is out plus the 70d might have more dynamic range (not that I'd expect it...), but it seems to me the iso capability is clearly no reason on its own to upgrade from the 18mp crop to the 20mp sensor if money is any issue at all.

Canon put the r&d effort into the dual af and not into the core sensor specs, again sidestepping Nikon just as they did with the low-light af on the 6d vs d600. One comforting fact to know though: The d7100 also doesn't seem to be much better, though it has 24mp and I guess if downsized to 20mp should beat the 70d's noise results.

"The pictures were traditionally made at the lowest level of sharpening and noise reduction off." Wow what more people want from 70D.

Doesn't mean anything because there always is forced nr for higher iso shots on Nikon just like with Canon, see for example the 6d's sharpness vs. 5d2 ... this is even valid for raw, so you need to look at the noise (esp. inexplicable lack of chroma) AND the sharpness in one go.

Well, at least we've got you taking the fight to Canon for us. Sleep easy folks!

 

[jdramirez]

I have an mkiii that I'm very happy with, but I do like the upgrade path of the 60d-> 70d. It is a much better body, though image quality is evidently about the same.

Another forum DRone heard from. I'm sorry you can't manage to take a good picture with a Canon camera, becuase the sensor is so terrible. Odd that most of us don't suffer from that problem, 'eh? :

I have arthritis... that's my cross to bear... or bare... meh.

I just the other day bought an xti for my daughter for basically $15 (there was some selling of lenses involved to get to that price).

If I could have had a slr with a complement of L lenses when I first started off, I would have been a happy camper.

Hi,
I'm not surprise as some website already mention that the higher MP 70D dual-pixel sensor IQ is same as 60D for RAW.

Have a nice day.
