Have to agree with Joe, for 5000, those are real nice.

I concur!!
Great job!

Well the pictures have blown me away, stunning.

For the technical noise side, the old 7D can do well if treating right but you have managed very impressive results here.

Those turned out very well. I have not trie to go that high yet but today is a cold rainy day so maybe I will, and see how I do.

Just looked again and pleased to say I can see them now. Fantastic job Pete, they look great.

Hey Pete here is my try with ISO 3200, and PP'd in CS5.1 as well. I tried ISO4000 with a junco but it was not working out well.

7D ISO 3200 1/400th 50% crop

That's great for 3200 ISO NoA! That's about the limit for the 7D really imho.The Hummers are 37% to 45% crops but still not too shabby for a 1.6 crop I thought.

YA it seems to be the limit for something usable but still not stellar. I almost sold mine as well before I found the proper way to edit Do you feel your 1D3 was a lot better with ISO or about the same?

I haven't really pushed the 1D3 like that yet,I suspect its very close.The noise in the 1D's
is finer so normally you dont see it as much.

Very nice. I have the 50D and ISO 800 is my maximum, just too much noise beyond that. Big step up to this camera ISO 5000 would be great for those overcast days in forest conditions.

Thanks for the images

They look great.

Beautiful shots Pete. Great detail and color and I never would have guessed ISO 5000.

Beautiful series, Pete. Job well done.

Great shots Pete . I know I love my 7D, although there are those who dont.......... its their loss.
