7D images @ ISO 6400 & 12800 (4 images)

7D images @ ISO 6400 & 12800

here are a couple of test images with in-camera High ISO Noise reduction set to standard - in post raw (ACR beta) - noise reduction - sharpening - color

I'm happy with the results - YMMV

ISO 6400

Thanks for posting these

Looking at the exif, I just noticed that the daylight savings time did not update - the time is off by 1 hour

Jesus. What does 3200 look like with these?

that 6400 is better than my 3200 on my 40D

Hope you don't mind, I ran your photos through my NR workflow.

i think ISO 12800 on the 7D looks kinda like ISO 1600 on my xti sometimes :O

Nick - give me a few minutes and I'll send you a link to my full size workups and work those up.

I think you just sold me on the 7D... .seriously.

Sure...waiting for the links.

pretty darn impressive, thanks for posting

Don't mean to be a downer, but I don't think these results are completely representative of what one would normally get at ISO6400 or ISO12800. Typically when one would go as high as 6400 or 12800, you're not going to have so much light that you're getting 1/800 or 1/1250 shutter speeds...and the amount of light will affect the noise level. Bumping the ISO in decent light just for the heck of it is a little different than bumping the ISO because you absolutely need to get more shutter speed in marginal light.

Most, if not all, these band shots were done at ISO 6400 with some PP obviously. I had to shoot at this speed to catch the flags as best I could, it was rainy and dark, competition was moved to a back parking lot with just the normal parking light lots at the school, not the best condition at all. These results are actually quite typical. High ISO is definitely one of the strong suits of the 7D!

One of my favs from the evening shoot.

That's a pretty silly thing to say considering he's shooting football at night...

You're talking about 1/200s or 1/160s at ISO 1600. I'd call that marginal light. You wouldn't get many keepers shooting football at 1/200s, even 1/400s or 1/500s is borderline for football.

Typicially at this stadium I'm at ISO 3200 about 1/600 at the light supports and about 1.5 stops darken in the end zones.

I shot the images just as the game was ending as a try-out.
