Don't ask why the settings are 1/5000 and f/2.8 (I wasn't paying enough attention)

So that's why it's so crappy, right?

I ran this as a controlled test in my house using 500mm F4 and found exactly that...the 5D4 with 1.4x will outresolve the 7D2 bare, and the extra high ISO performance will make up for the lost stop of light, plus a wee bit more. The 7D2 with 1.4x will outresolve them both, though.

So, I kept the 7D2 (I shoot mostly birds) and still use it when I need to crop a lot and when the light is good. When close (like feeder setup or large, tame birds) or low light, 5DIV.

Hi. How do i add copyright info on my camera so it gets applied automatically on the exif when i take a shot?

Man it's hard to go back to the 7DII in low light.

The 4 is sooo much cleaner, and even when the noise is about the same ( I think the 5D4 must be close to two stops better) the noise looks so much nicer. (IMHO)

That is all

I use both when I sjoot hockey and while the 5D4 stays at 4000 ISO the 7D2 has to be up at 6000. It's a real pain.

Well with a bit of experimentation using my 24-70 lens, I finally got a few toddler photos that I was happy with. Shutter speed 160, f/3.2 ISO 2500 with window light from outside on a gloomy day.

I am shooting a boxing tournament this weekend.

I was toying with the idea of using the 27-70 2.8 on the 5D4 (I get to shoot ringside) and having the 85 1.8 on the 7DII to give me about 135 on the 7dII @1.8 to get the ISO down a bit and have that longer FL for various reasons.

But I was looking my shots from last year with the 7dII and they just do not look as good.... by that I mean for example a 7DII @ 3200 does not look as good as the 5d4 at 10000.

It's almost like I would be better off with a 6D for the more static stuff.

The crop factor affects exposure and ISO too as well as f-stop. Took me a while to figure that out!!

I have almost the exact same setup as you. I think I would go with the 24-70 f/2.8 (v2 right?) and the 5D4. Sure the FPS would suffer a bit but the high ISO characteristics would be better. Just time your shots tighter and in shorter bursts. I doubt I would go much wider than f/2.8 during an active fight anyway. A cropped image from the 5D4 will most likely be "better" at higher ISO's than that from the 7D2 uncropped.

Nice looking shot! Is that a hot pixel in the middle of the cloud that is just above the horizon? If so that is surprising at that shutter speed.

Who cares about the settings Annie, the light is just sublime. Beautiful shot.

I'm jealous of your pictures. I have this set up for 2.5 months now and still have no clue of what i'm doing lol. I took 4 classes so far. including a Canon class.
