Okay, I'll post a few action shots late in the game that have the higher ISO's. I'm not claiming to be a great (or even good) sports photographer and some of these shots are cropped a lot. I can't convince anybody to give me a 400 f2.8 lens. The shots earlier in the game before it got dark are a lot better than these.

The whole series for this game can be found at the link below. Almost all of them were with the 7D2 with maybe a dozen or so wide shots with the 7D.

McNeese vs Northwestern St. Game PHotos

First photo is ISO 6400, 1/1250, f 2.8

Thanks Richard! I believe they look even better on your flickr page.

I went out for a street shoot yesterday, used my 70-200 II with 1.4x III and i got a lot of missed focus shots, with some shots in focus. Never had this much trouble on my 5D3.

When I do AFMA test shots it seems fine.

Dunno what's up, but not overly happy so far.

Well there are unfortunately bad copies that sneak out. Maybe get yours replaced under warrantee if you can not figure out what the problem is.

Anybody got their grips + extra battery from B&H or Amazon ?

Mine along with the camera are on there way right now from Adorama.

Without samples and EXIF we can't really help you, have you used a crop before?

Anyone who has owned the 1d4 and received their 7d2 have any thoughts between the two?

To all
anyone know about the sensor of 7d MarkII as color depth, dynamic rang ??


.

This is something that i am waiting for to find out about this camera, so keep waiting until you get the answer.

Something for you 7D2 vs 70D

DXO will probably test the sensor at some point and have some/all of this info. The color depth is probably available on one or more of the camera review sites, so you might try checking those.

I agree with most of what was said there regarding ISO. The gap in ISO performance between the 7D, 70D and 7D2 is very small. However, it does seem that the 70D/7D2 both have a cleaner noise look to them, the 7D does have a "dirty" look to it if you miss exposure and bring it up. The 70D and 7D2 are more refined, and that translates to cleaner final processed images over the 7D with more detail. This, in my book, gives the 7D2 (and 70D) around 1/2 to 2/3 stop improvement.

The 70D/7D2 are around 1 to 1 1/3 stop worse than the 5D3.

Did you try it without the 1.4. A lens with a 1.4 will typically need adjustments. It should be fine with a bare lens though, but I still like to maf them though.

You could probably get a very good idea if you can find that info for the 70D.

i'd second the suggestion to try without the tc before passing any judgement

Adorable Titmouse. Did you shoot RAW? I would try to see if you can recover some of the highlights just a bit. Nice capture.
