I use sharp knives for everything, its kinda pointless to have a knife if it isnt sharp.

where ? I don't see any macro lenses in your gear
I know that the 70-200 f/4 and the 135L are sharp lenses
but not like the sharpness of the macro lenses

That he has. It is very nice to see that despite the poor DR and lack of inovation by Canon on sensors that beautiful pictures can be taken.

You have the 7D2 already?

Obviously his reply "That he has..." was about Arthur Morris' birding pictures taken with a 7D2, as well as what Romy has been able to do.

Teamspeed, I was asking because he has it on his gear list.

Ah, got it. Most likely updated to reflect his preorder status.

I agree. I went ahead and got the new battery grip when I pre ordered my 7D2.

Hmm...

Are you saying that our Canon cameras with "poor" image IQ can capture some "beautiful pics"? Wow, nice to know!!!!

"Man, what a crappy photo. Just look at that horrible dynamic range! It must have been taken with a Canon"

- said nobody, ever.

Actually, I think there might be some people on the forums who have said that.

Art Morris has a 1600 ISO 100% and 200% crop with more high ISO yet to come.

The high ISO noise is definitely improved over the 7D if you look at this comparison on imaging resource.

7D on left and 7Dii on right at ISO 12800

Again that is the job output, they cannot be used for sensor performance comparisons.

The one thing I found it shows is the amount of detail is greater on the 7D11 once you process and remove the noise. I did an enlargement test print from the RAW files supplied on imaging resource and the detail retention was quite a bit better at 6400 and 12800 than the 7D. The 7D image to me would not have been usable.

That wheel makes a great fine detail display for comparisons.

Yes I call all that in my review. The difference is around 2/3 although a member here has run both files through a raw analyzer and there is mathematically hardly any difference according to the final results.

Here is my initial CGDenoiser action on the 7d2 12800 sample from my review.

Looks like availability is locked in for October 30th from Amazon & Best Buy.

Can anybody explain why such a price difference on the BG-E16 grip on Amazon vs B&H. The extra battery is also inflated on Amazon.
