When you compare Images of the 7d ii with images form the nikon d500 you can see two things in favor of the nikon d500:
More sharpness
Less noise at high iso
I think that canon can match the sharpness of the images of the nikon d500 by removing the AA filter.
But iso performance wise it is atm obvious that the canon 7d ii has more colour noise, way more color noise.
As for luminance noise im not sure how far they really are apart.
Do you think the 7diii can at least match or even overtake the nikon d500 regarding noise at high iso? is it realistic? keep in mind the nikon d500 has a slightly bigger aps-c sensor.
Perhaps a poll is usefull here:
