    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    He actually compared with Sony with the old Olympus OM-D E-M1x camera (it is the bigger body and the name can clearly be seen) and the conclusions were very interesting - the new OM-1 is a significant image quality upgrade from that model, so the result will have changed.

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    A friend of mine has one and says the AF is unbelievably good. Check out DP Review's gallery RAW files can be downloaded and if you have the latest update to Adobe Camera RAW in LR or PS, the files can be processed - spoiler: the detail and noise levels are excellent and now seem to match my...

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    I agree with you, but the 20fps is too much for me to cope with (I was a film photographer!) and mechanical shutter is very quiet after a DSLR. Start by hitting the Q button & selecting Drive Mode and then your preference.Single shot, Low, High or High + continuous. Unlike previous cameras...

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    R7 will turn up this year, not sure when though. No drop in sharpness on 300/4 with either. I have to stress atmospherics though on a hot day, both can suffer, but obviously the 2x is more affected, It all comes down to subject distance. I digiscope and learned a lot of lessons when I started...

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    Always happy to help with info Max. Your may have seen on the website that I've been doing this for a while and lucky enough to have some very interesting projects with Canon and a few others

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    I experimented very briefly with a Sony A7 RIV that offered a 26Mp crop in camera. The noise levels were terrible, even under 1000 iso, so it went back. The R5 will be much cleaner for noise, so a good way to get closer, but expensive. Waiting for the R7 may be better? Frame rates on the R5...

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    Max, the rumours of the crop-sensor EOS mirrorless grow louder, be patient.... The R6 is an excellent camera (the reason I have two), but Canon have made some very big mistakes on the lens front and it is incredibly frustrating. The obvious lens option would be the 100-500mm zoom. But it does...

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    Hi Steve, The new Olympus will, based on the RAW files I have been playing with, I think exceed the image quality from 7D II, certainly dynamic range, by around 1.5stops. I have not yet had hands on, but friends who have suggest AF is exceptional and I expect it to exceed my R6s (R5 too). In...

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    The 7D II was (and still is) an excellent and very capable camera. Apologies for my disruption. Perhaps the R5/R6 and related conversation should be moved away from this thread?

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    Nice pictures Mike. The 7D II has always been excellent, with the same AF system as the 1Dx and simple to use. It is now great value and as many have said, continues to work well. Like you, I walk around; rarely, if ever, go into hides. One of the best combinations was aways with the Canon...

    Upgrading for a 7D which way to go?

    Hi Steve, interesting that you say "tempted by the R5.." Canon are extremely guilty for only promoting the R5 whereas most professionals are actually buying and using the R6.... Identical capabilities, lacking only the small display on the top (not useful) and the unnecessary large 45Mp sensor...
