High ISO Samples from the Canon EOS 7D Mark II

ajfotofilmagem said:
Taking the example of these photos, we can conclude that 7D Mark ii is a very good camera for journalists who shoot JPEG and do not have time to process RAW files. ::)

The picture out of focus? :o The beauty of the model left the photographer nervous... :-* :P

I agree. I think anyone here could use an XTi in that lighting at max ISO and get similar results. They're down to what, 2MP? Wasn't really informative...the model was a smoke-show though.

Well that new autofocus system in the 7DII is doing really well - the ISO3200 picture on his web page looks completely out of focus (front focus I'd say.) ISO25600 looks similarly misfocused.

So that new AF system in the 7DII ... so advanced that it can't deal with a model that's relatively stationary...

Yes, I'm sure that's the problem. Thanks for point pointing that out, dilbert. Maybe his real problem is that he thinks the 7DII is a lens. Or you do. ::)

Are you suggesting that the AF problems aren't the cameras and are the lens instead?

So all of those people that complained about the 5D2's AF should really have been complaining about lenses intead?

No, I'm suggesting that your allegation that the 7DII's AF has a problem is baseless trolling.

Really?

Someone that many would call a competent photographer posts a series of images, of which a substantial fraction are out of focus and criticising the camera is baseless trolling?

So what would you like to blame for the focus problems:
* The camera
* The model
* The lens
* The photographer

The AF was off, the exposures were off, the white balance was off. That's not the camera. That's the user. The guy was in a spur-of-the-moment setting, with a BRAND NEW PROTOTYPE camera that he had never before used.

Sorry 'Bert, but you have to account for user error at the very least here, not to mention the potential issues that a PRE-release camera is going to bring to the table. No one is going to instantly become intimately familiar with and capable of using to perfection a brand new piece of hardware after handling it for a few minutes.

This is just baseless trolling. Canon has their flaws, but AF is one of the things they excel at. There are other, and much lower hanging, "troll food fruit" which you could go after a bit more effectively here. :P

What should I think about the opinion of somebody who posts anonymously as a "guest" here? How's that even possible?

Banned or deleted account I think.

He deleted his own account, I checked the logs. He had also set up a second account, and deleted that as well.

We have been handing out a few warnings and temporary bans, we typically delete all posts and topics when we delete an account, that's almost always a spammer.

Thanks for the clarification.

I downloaded two of the full sized jpg's from the site in japan. The first (maybe wrong ) assumption it that they are out of camera jpg's. I compared them to two I have here from my T3i with the same ISO ratings. The one I have at ISO 6400 is of a large object from a close (about 8 feet) distance so not a good comparison to the one of the harbour. The other at ISO 3200 was compared to a bird shot I have and it does seem the squirrel exhibits a little better fine detail but that is about it. I don't think it is $1800 worth.

That leaves it back to raw performance whenever that is available.

On the flip side the camera's feature set, other than high ISO performance, was enough for me to pre-order. Got my name on a list early. I can always cancel if new / more information leads me to conclude that it is not worth the price.

Are you saying that if of all the shots from the 7D II that you have seen 1 shot out of 6 that misses focus that there is no bases for a problem? :o

I am just hoping this guy was a bad photographer.

A sample size of 6 is far too small (in any context) to draw any conclusions. Maybe the next 6 would all have been in focus, maybe the next 60 would have (or vice versa). As others have said, we know next to nothing about the lens, AF mode, technique, and user capability. To immediately point to it being a flaw in the camera body is patently trolling as Neuro said. Let's just hope it was meant lightheartedly.

Miss spelled word, I was patiently trolling until mine arrives in November. Or maybe not....

Lol, I didn't mean you!

LOL at the trolling regarding the 7D2 AF, first of all the guy was making an informal test of the High ISO SOOC JPEGs from the cam, not its AF performance. Secondly, OOF images can still be useful to evaluate noise in the OOF areas (assuming an even-enough area in terms of color and lighting).

Here is a better 7D2 image gallery to evaluate the camera's AF performance (so-called "Professional's Impression" gallery), too bad the full-size images are not available (composed of BIFs, bullet trains, jumbo jets, various individual and team sports, various fast-moving land animals like Cheetahs, Subaru WRX STi rally cars, motoracing, jetskiing, etc.) :

http://cweb.canon.jp/eos/special/7dmk2/gallery/

In short, the gallery demonstrates that if you can't shoot in-focus action shots with the 7D2, then the problem is obviously located behind the viewfinder.

So that would be "The Photographer."

Absolutely! Every single photographer on earth botches shots, even the greatest of the great pros. Throw in a bunch of random factors and a brand new prototype camera model that you've never used before, and you would missfocus a bit as well.

Yes, an informal test, so the results of it should be universally ignored or taken with a grain of salt.

at least he has his gut to post his out of focus image? how about you? take your best focus camera and try to beat me with my classic canon 7d which number of people in here complain about auto focus... post your similar sharp image like the one below which was taken with canon 7d and 24-105mm f/4...

sadly that i have to say, imo, that 7d mark ii should beat both canon 1d-x and 5d mark iii in auto focus and yes, i am not bias in this saying since i am one of those canon 5d mark iii owners...

Wow, well done Canon!!! Apparently someone there does listen! High-ISO, Awesome AF system and 10 FPS. Best Camera in class by a good margin. It's hard to believe there are complaints, especially at this price. These things are going to fly out the door. This is going to revive the middle market for sure.

I have a feeling the 5DmIV will be the high DR, 4K camera (with built in recording) everyone wants.

At least no one is saying the high ISO shots are noisy, lol

Wow some people must have really high expectations from Matt Granger for him to be able to just pick up a camera he's never even seen before or even existed before that point and to then be handed it and given a short (a minute or two?) time to get a 100% hit rate in conditions he has has no control over? Well he didn't manage that so the only conclusion can be - that the camera is a dud? Because MG cannot miss. Ever. It's not even thinkable. :P

To everyone talking about the ISO 3200 pic being OOF

IF you watch the video you will see that the ISO 3200 pic isn't even the same one shown in the video.

Not much credibility with this guys article.

So Matt Granger (mattgranger.com) took a bunch of quick snaps to get some web traffic and guess what?

Matt Granger cannot take photographs. Matt Granger is a bad camera reviewer. Matt Granger is a bad photographer.

Summary: Matt Granger is a tool and I would never hire or buy from this guy.

It is at 4:48 on the video, the ISO 3200 in the video is the ISO 6400 on his site.
On the video the ISO 6400 is the ISO 3200 on his site.
