Canon EOS 7. 0D Review. If I had to pick a do everything well APS C format camera that does not cost a fortune, the Canon EOS 7. D would be my recommendation. This camera has it all great image quality with high resolution, a great AF system, a moderately large viewfinder, a fastresponsive shutter release combined with a very nice frame rate, a great LCD and. And if video is on your bucket list, the camera will give you incredible 1. Movie Servo AF performance. The EOS 6. 0D was, in some regards, a step back from its EOS 5. D predecessor. It appeared that Canon was better slotting the 6. D below the EOS 7. D and above the EOS Rebel models. The 7. 0D loses almost no 6. D functionality or features and adds considerably to them.

Im very impressed by the great looking photos I made with this little DSLR while it was on loan from a friend. I had borrowed some exotic lenses, and this little guy.

These results show the resolution of the 7. Ds sensor along with the base level of sharpness Canon has dialed in. The IQ tool link above will load a comparison to the Canon EOS 6. D. And the 7. 0D is looking very nice against the 6. D with just the right amount of improved sharpness. Increasing sharpness canincrease noise levels. That comparison is available below. The other 7. 0D comparison I find interesting. Canon EOS Rebel T4i 6. D. I find the T4i images same as T5i to be slightly oversharpened even with a very low sharpness setting of 1. Look for the halos and jagged edges around the black details in the T4is ISO 1. The 7. 0D results, again, look just right. And, there is a noticeable resolution increase in subjects with fine details. With the highest density DSLR sensor available, the EOS 7. D now leads the Canon pack for reach. When you are lens focal length limited, a more dense sensor can deliver more resolution in your final crop. Bird photographers take note.

If you followed the dialog on the noise test page, skip down to the image file size table below. The 8 compared DSLR cameras all perform excellently. Canon has made no claims for improved ISO noise performance from the 7. Ds new sensor they would have if they thought it was improved in this regard. Dual Pixel CMOS design more about this later gives up no ground to the other APS C imaging sensors. While we would all like to think otherwise, the big improvements in APS C high ISO noise we used to see have not happened in recent years. I think the 7. 0D is as good as any other model on the above list and even better than some at least at some higher ISO settings. I do need to point out the sharpness issue. While the settings for these tests are standardized, the 7. D and 6. 0D images are slightly soft while the T4i images are slightly sharp. Increased sharpness generally makes noise more obvious. You can always adjust your image settings to your own taste. The 7. 0D images, processed at my standardized settings, fall between the just mentioned cameras in terms of sharpness. And as I said before, I find the 7. Ds amount of sharpness to be just right. That the 7. 0D images are sharper but not noisier than the 7. Ds images indicates to me that some improvement in noise is being made here. If the difference in image quality between the 7. D and other compared cameras is hard for you to detect, I dont think you have a justification for an upgrade there are plenty of other upgrade reasons. If you need less noise in your high ISO images, the full frame sensor cameras including the 6. D, 5. D III and 1. D X are your answer. One of the 7. 0Ds upgraded from the 7. D6. 0D capabilities that is not going to justify an upgrade for most is ISO 2. This setting has far more benefit for marketing than for real use. ISO 1. 28. 00 images also look bad and ISO 6. As always, in camera noise reduction is available. And, as always, noise reduction is available during post processing. The last two rows of results show the 7. Ds in camera noise reduction in use. These two NR sample sets were captured in JPG format using the same settings used for RAW processing of the other images the Standard Picture Style with sharpness set to 1 very low settings applied in camera. The first noise reduction sample set used the standard noise reduction setting level high and low settings are also available. Standard is the default out of the box setting for the camera. And the results above show the reason I immediately turn off noise reduction for my default. See the oversharpening halos around the color blocks and the slightly reduced image sharpness at ISO 1. Noise reduction also degrades fine details in an image. I generally do not add noise reduction until reaching very high ISO settings, but this is of course your choice. Multi Shot Noise Reduction is relatively new for EOS DSLR cameras. When this feature first appeared, I was anxious to see how the merging of multiple four exposures taken in a full frame rate burst could be used to reduce image noise as the concept makes a lot of sense. The bottom set of NR examples shows the test results from MSNR and the NR set directly above it provides a direct comparison with the standard NR. There is definitely improvement with MS NR a full stop or more at some ISO settings including even low settings. Downsides to Multi Shot Noise Reduction include. MSNR is currently available only with JPG output I would like to see this feature added to Canons Digital Photo Pro software for RAW capture processing perhaps as another HDR preset. Multi Shot Noise Reduction will not be so useful with moving subjects. Long exposure NR, Dust Delete Data, Multiple Exposure and HDR Mode must be set to off to enable MSNR. The 7. 0D reverts back to Standard NR in Basic zone modes, during video recording, in Bulb mode and when the camera is powered off. Flash is not supported in MSNR mode. And the camera remains busy for a brief period of time after the 4 shot burst while processing the merged image. This feature is nice, but I have not found it so useful in real applications. The fine details in the fabric example better hide high ISO noise and favor higher resolution sensors. In this comparison, the 7. Canon User Manuals, Operating Guides and Support Information Retrevo.
