A Couple of Real World EOS 7D Mark II High ISO Samples

[Canon Rumors]

<p><a href="http://www.froknowsphoto.com" target="_blank">FroKnowsPhoto</a> has posted their “PRE review” of the production EOS 7D Mark II that they recently got their hands on.</p>

<p>You can also view some full resolution ISO 12,800 and 16,000 sample images at the FroKnowsPhoto website.</p>
<p><em>“The samples images that I am sharing first show ISO 12,800 and 16,000. The 12,800 looks to be pretty solid for a cropped sensor camera. The 16,000 on the other hand is a little mushy but again it’s 16,000 on a cropped sensor it’s totally acceptable.”</em></p>

Definitely a solid performance from the 7DmkII at those high ISO's. This is looking like a winner of an APS-C sensored DSLR from Canon.

If it had a sony sensor you wouldn't need 16,000 ISO. You could just keep all your shots at 100 and then fix everything in post. I can't believe that anyone would even buy a Canon camera anymore.

I think it looks great, and I am now thinking that I will start to shoot in JPG and RAW simultniously

It's even worse to post some comments on a website dedicated to Canon gear and don't use Canon gear, i really don't understand 8)

Underexpose by over 7 stops? Great technique.

The video and photos looked really good for High ISO AND crop censor

+1

Indeed, but that seems to be the way that new "so called" photographers want to work. Just pushing up the blacks by 7 stops. Next generation of cameras will be without AE as everything can be corrected in PP.

It is dynamic range again. With his relatively light coloured shirt acting as a reflector (his right shoulder),
his neck is still completely in shadow. U would expect more shadow details than this...
No question Canon has done a fb job on high ISO NR but the dynamic range is still lacking IMHO.

 

[sdfreeland]

I'm I missing something? These images appear to be 5 megapixels, not 20. Are these 100% crops or are they downsized?

 

[Lawliet]

It's exactly the "S"-size, for crops that would be quite a coincidence.
Well, the actual detail recorded makes that a moot point.

Don't waste your breath...
Some people would rather take an hour to take a picture and spend a whole day in front of a computer to correct it.
Others like me, would rather spend a whole day to take a picture, and spend an hour in front of a computer to correct.
Of course, you might not have that luxury in fast action, last minute and time limited situations, but I'm not into that kind of work. I love the art of photography not so much the art of photoshop/LR.

Yes just to be clear I was being VERY sarcastic with my original post!
