Y'all have had at LEAST 12 hrs to play with the 7d - where are your reviews?!

Ann McRae

I loaded my first set of shots without processing them at all.

So forgive the muddle of shots, but if you want to see sequential shots of birds at the feeder or my dog, that is where they are at. A few that I like:

Cat inside the house, me outside. 1.4xTC and the 300mm lens




Nuthatch with seed:



Backlit dog, just cuz he is my dog!



The game this weekend is going to be outside not indoors, so I won't get to run that test until the 13th of Oct. :-(

I am doing some real estate shots tomorrow so may have more to post.

I really haven't looked hard at stills yet. I figure a lot of people will do that so I went after the video.

One intangible for me is I shoot kids who move around a lot. For example, at Disney last week I had a 50mm on the 5D MKII and was sortof playing hide 'n seek with Leia, with her bobbing to the left and right. I'm surprised how few shots i could get off in focus with her bobbing and weaving, and can't help but wonder what I missed by not having a faster camera:




I would gladly trade off slight image quality to get more frames and a better chance at the fleeting smile I may have lost.

Canon does not have a fast focusing 50mm prime. I think the EF-S 17-55mm, f2.8 IS USM is about as fast as you can get in that range, but the 70-200mm "L" zooms are amazingly fast and would be my recommendation for a similar FOV (at 70mm).

Thanks - impressive noise performance .... even in the shadow areas.

Looks really good in those shots. They were properly exposed, of course, which helps. Which leads me to....

Ann, if you (or anybody else who's got the camera) get any high ISO shots that are slightly underexposed - you know, the kind of shots one tends to wind up with in the situations which demand high ISOs!! - could you share? I know these are always the shots where my xsi really lets me down - it HATTTEESSSS being underexposed, and boy, does it show!

Thanks SO much to all of you "early adopters" for letting the rest of us see what the new kid on the block is like. All kidding aside, I know it must be a pain to have us breathing down your necks, and I for one appreciate your willingness to share with us all!

For me the big test will be indoor soccer, and we are 2 weeks away from that, sadly. I suppose I could go creep around the indoor centers or a hockey arena and take some random shots, but I am going to be in Acadia for a week! so probably won't get them done.

Per the histogram, there are some underexposed shots - check the early dog shots:



Not as bad as the indoor shots I am used to taking, but underexposed and not yet processed to correct, so don't know how it would survive processing.

It is not at D700 level but for a 18MP APS-C camera this is amazing, I have a great feeling about the future APS Nikon and 4/3 bodies in my future now.

Canon well done

Can't say they underexposed, but they are high ISO at the brink of the non-being able to see what I'm shooting (see the exif in the gallery)
