Canon EOS 7D In Depth Review

Image Samples

I’ve included a number of image samples for you to judge overall image quality. I’ve included the relevant EXIF below each thumbnail, and you can click each thumbnail for a larger view. The unedited originals are available by clicking the “original size” link. These files are JPEG conversions from original RAW files, typically using Canon’s “standard” picture style. Currently Lightroom only offers beta support for the EOS 7D. Because of this I’ve used Canon’s included Digital Photo Professional to open the RAW files which I then output for the original files.

   Hi,

   Just read this review. Great info! What really intrigued me though were the photos of the horse track (toteboard, etc.). Where were these photos taken? They’re awesome!

   Too be quite honest the pics published (and the originals downloaded) here do zero for the 7D with regards its pedigree & wouldn’t even hold up to my workhorse, a Pentax K10D even at ISO 640

   I’m sure you would admit that the shadow noise in the “sun” landscape is simply ghastly for ISO 200.

   What gives?

   The review was great but the pics presented here certainly did not make me want to rush off and by the 7D
