Looking nicer might have more to do with better dynamic range, better noise handling, different color sensitivity and might have little effect in detail capture, what PZ is mostly focused on? Even sharpness might just be better due to a better AF accuracy ;-).

 

Just my 2 cents

….well yesterday's hire was a quick look to see if this camera would do the job for me nowadays….and….

 

1. not sure that DR is much improved, but i rather like what i see via canon anyhow - and possibly here comparing DPP(70D) to C1(7D) is difficult 

2. yes noise handling looks good

3. color sensitivy could be better, but i could only use DPP for raw as unfortunately my usual processor don't recognise 70D raw yet, so i can't compare the two so much….but having said that i could make the 70D pictures look just the way i wanted, which i liked

4. i thought, on this quick look, that the AF accuracy was good and quick using the same lens and shooting the same way as a stills camera (not sure how it could be better though, 7D was already quite fine)

 

….but visually the detail capture looks better and cleaner than my 7D on my usual subject matter (comparing via having used C1 here for 7D which is no slouch in the rez dept.)....and the bokeh looks smoother too….at last a digital camera that makes sweet bokeh, at least on my main lens with others to check later. bliss.

….anyhow this all might be useful for pz….maybe k could rent one for a look on his next weekend down in melbourne….for when he is short of things to do down there….

 

….anyhow it was definately worth the rental to see what's what - i captured some lovely pictures - 'fraid not the type of pictures i like to show here, sadly - but no doubt for me this camera would be a cheaper update than a 7D2 and would do the job, and the tilting touch screen on the back is nice….but one always wonders what's coming next….

 

 

….and yes there has been a subtle shift away from the subject matter of this original post….it always happens at 2am you know….
