Digitalrev speculates on D7100 vs. 7D2

[marceloshak]

If the 70D can compete with D7100, I guess will never see a 7D II

Im not bothered what Nikon does. I invested in Canon, love their products, think the new lens's are mind blowing so im staying put. As for the 7D, its still an excellent camera. I sold mine recently as i do sports and wildlife to stay with the 1D4 whilst prices stay up. Perhaps the new 7D and from a marketing perspective and there will be a new 7D, is pretty easy to see where it will be and what its specs will be. An autofocus as good as a 5D3 if not a touch faster, no pop up screen, a build same as the last one, functions pretty much the same, frame rate 8 to a possible 10 in essance a faster crop sensored 5D3. As for sensor performance, Canons latest are excellent and that tech will trickle down to the 7D. Low to mid 20 million ish pixels , better noise performance maybe a stop or two. That would bring it closer to a 1D4 performance not 5D3 as its to slow and doesnt have the reach I need. Im getting one when it breaks cover so i have aps-c-h and FF. All bases covered. As for performance, i shot a recent demo with a full frame, aps-h and aps-c. same time same place same lens. All are excellent but as the sensor size grows, you do see the quality increase but thats what id expect.

And to answer the question, how do you fit a gallon into a half gallon bucket? Pressurize it.

I think nuclear fusion would occur before your attempt succeeded.

aha , you are talking sales, and Im talking about QE , be in front of research, colors, DR, noise, etc , you have all parameters at DXO sensor ranking. If you are tourist shooting you can buy a good compact camera, why bother about a SLR at all ?.
Toyota sales most cars in the world, Im not driving a Toyota but many are.I think there are better cars
How about you?

There is a Toyota in my driveway..... have you ever tried to carry two canoes on a roof-rack on the top of a Lamborghini?

No, I'm talking cameras. Shutter lag, AF performance, frame rate...things that help make sure the image you want the sensor to capture is the one the sensor actually captures. A shot with less noise and more DR that's slightly OOF and a fraction of a second after the peak of action is a throwaway. It still baffles me that people fail to understand that there's more to capturing a moment than the sensor inside the camera.

Exactly! Look at the image below.... it is a pileated woodpecker hoping along a fence. It is the timing that makes it an interesting picture.... a mid-air capture that is in focus... not dynamic range or iso performance.

I do find myself wishing there was more detail inside the crack directly below the bird. DR is severely lacking.
