7D noise performance?

[swiftparkour94]

With raw images there is no in camera editing done. It's the raw data that hits the sensor.

Oh ok.....so you shot all these in RAW, too them home, and fixed them up?

 

[MLeeK]

There is no fixed them up to it. I don't edit. OH HELL NO! At 10G a game I am NOT editing all of that. I'd never meet a deadline EVER!

You've seen my work with the 7D at 12800. I do remove noise in Adobe Camera Raw/Lightroom, but I don't do any other processing.

You said that you shot at iso 12800. I'm so confused now

iso 12800 with no pp?

I have very limited pp/noise reduction ability so someone who has could make these better with a bit of care. But in a pinch 12800 is usable and I do believe the 7d has good high ISO performance irrelevent of what DxO says

You are my new favorite person on here

This isn't difficult. I do not edit. I process from raw to jpeg as a raw file is not an image file. Noise removal is part of that process in Adobe Camera Raw that removes noise.
It takes me an hour or less to process somewhere between 200 and 500 shots because I do not edit.
Processing from raw is not the same as EDITING in PhotoShop. Processing is the film eq of developing

Oh well that's what I meant by editing, noise removal. Thanks though

Noise is not an issue with my 7D. I shot with my 50mm, no flash, handheld with high ISO. Any noise is easily removed using Topaz. All the complaints about how bad the noise is could very well be how the person shooting at night sets up their camera. If you are off my much any camera will show nasty noise, even in a daytime shot. I have found the 7D to be a fanstastic camera from Canon and would recommend it to anyone.

Here's an image shot at night at the TI, formally known as Treasure Island. lol

When I had a 7D, I never really was pleased when I took it over ISO 1600.
