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.

looking rubbish.

but of course they do without noise reduction. even the raws out of my fuji x-e1 with its hyped sensor look rubbish at high iso without noise reduction.

the 70d seems to be about on par with the 7D...so its okay. not a masterpiece but okay. fullframe still the way to go if you want high-iso low-noise.

I'm confused.... I thought the big improvements in the 70D were all about focus?? A a 60D owner, I find the focusing system to be more of a limit than the image quality...
Hi,
I'm also a 60D owner looking to upgrade and 70D still doesn't have enough for me to upgrade... the dual-pixel is interesting and might be useful to me, but still not enough for me to upgrade. If the AF is more sensitive... like -1EV instead of -0.5EV, then I might just go ahead. Now I'll wait and see what will 7DII offer... hopefully it'll be -1EV or better.

Have a nice day.

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

Not a surprise. They're still cramming too many MP into a crop sensor.

The true IQ upgrade from 7D is full frame, no matter the tricks employed.

At least you seem to understand that point. Some people around here don't appear to grasp the concept that APS-C sensors can only do so much. I quite frankly have no real issues with the image quality of the 70D though.

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 to agree with neuro
I am very happy with the images I take with my canon especially when I get my bit right ;-)

Seems as though people are jumping the gun a bit here.

If I understand correctly, one site has posted some incomplete tests. And, it's not a site most are familiar with.

I wonder how they managed to get their hands on the 70D before all the better known test sites. Don't most of these sites wait until there is an actual production model available, so they are testing the camera that consumers are buying, instead of a pre-production model?

I know the trolls are anxious to trash Canon and the fanboys are anxious to trumpet the brand, but shouldn't everyone wait until the camera is actually in the hands of consumers and we can get tests from more than one site using a representative sample of bodies?

I know...I know...what fun is it if we have to be limited by facts?

I was wondering about that myself. If anything, these are likely results from a pre-production model, so the firmware is probably not final. All the sites that did recieve a 70D to test out were instructed to not put a memory card in, so I do wonder how this site got them.

Keep in mind that these 70D camera's that these various sites are using are pre-production (Beta) versions.

Dpreview used a beta version of the 70D for their Studio Scene Comparison where you can compare the 70D to all other DSLR's from ISO 100-25600 etc. Keep in mind this is a beta version and not the final production version.

http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canon-eos-70d/8

Come on, it's not a "beta" version it's going to be just like the production model.

More 70D samples - this time from the Imaging Resource:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-70d/canon-70dA7.HTM

ISO/noise on par with the 60D (and the D7100, for that matter).
Definitely not a 6D killer 8).
Hi,
I was hoping that the 70D would improve upon the 650D's image quality but the red channel noise visible in the dark areas of the 70D sample is a problem at ISO 800. Frankly, it's not up to par with m43 so its probably 6D for me.

bingo...you get the cookie!!! Not only would it be better to wait till it's in the hands of real people, but, it would be even better to see what it does in the real world. I am in no way in the market for this camera, will keep my FF bodies...but unless my plan is to shoot still lifes in a studio, these mean nothing to me...

I mean, the high ISO test - 25,600, but at 1/8000th SS....I want to see the real world version, where you have to go to that ISO and the best you can do for SS is 1/30...real world... (of course, more reasonaby were talking up to ISO 12,800)....any way you have it, these tests kind of prove a lot of nothing to me....

Most of the people here crying about noise probably have never shot film, and spend more time obsessing about gear than shooting. I own a 50D and a 7D, and have no complaints about the noise. With the exception of some banding on the 50D at 3200 if you underexpose terribly.

Ever shot 1600 speed 35mm film? Probably not. My 7D easily has a 2 stop advantage over 35mm film.

You people want cameras to shoot at ISO 6400, and have it look like a medium format file that was shot at iso 100. You're the same people that want a 20-300 f/2.8 lens, with the optics of a Zeiss 50mm, and the size of a pancake 40mm.

I shot at iso 1000 :-) ... but then the print was only 9x13 cm max, so it didn't really matter. You have to correlate noise to the camera resolution and the export size, the current crop sensors only can make use of the full res at low iso but at high iso like the marketing-induced 25600 you have to downscale. Also the color rendition is degraded starting even at medium iso in contrast to a ff sensor.

That doesn't make the 70d a bad camera, or my 60d, or your 7d - but @iso800+ the noise starts killing detail @100% crop, though of course I can shoot action @iso3200 if the export is web sized.
