7d mark ii sports raw files download

That doesn't really sound like you're a photographer, rather a tech enthusiast instead. If you guys could look through something other than your Canon-tinted lenses, you would see that BIG things are happening in the world. It is all very exciting stuff. Canon is the market leader. The IBM. The General Motors. The one with the resources and the deep pockets. And they aren't adapting. I am disappointed that Canon aren't giving us better gear than this.

I am disappointed that of all the game changing stuff that is happening, Canon are not involved. They have the means to really blow us away with amazing improvements and they are choosing not to. As you said in your first post topstuff "sport and wildlife". That means if you want top-class gear it's all about the lenses.

Their long lenses just blow everything else away. There is NO alternative. Totally understand that it is Canon and Nikon that monopolise the lens range.

If you need specialised lenses, thats where you have to go. It just bugs me that Canon seem to be abusing that position - knowing full well that they have a captive market, even if they don't put too much effort into improving their cameras. The 7D2 is nothing more than an incremental improvement over the very old 7D. It seems a cynical exercise is giving us "just enough" to remain loyal. Canon could offer a lot more than this but they choose not to.

Thats all I'm saying. Which is why a lot of people are over the moon with the 7D2 upgrade. It's actually an amazing upgrade for me. What i'd want before any stupid gadgetry or video functions or wifi or anything. People don't seem to understand who this line of camera is for.

If it's not for you then there's no point in whinging, there are other models. Masses of people do want this 7D though. Thats what monopoly do. They monopolize. They abuse their unfair advantage. If you are not happy, buy something else.

Thats what I do. I bought the Sony A7R. I am cutting down on my Canon gear until I see them doing something different. Just doesn't make sense to continue investing in a company more interested in milking their customer base then bring them the best they can. Lenses are a different matter, as I feel Canon has some of the best zooms around. Thats also the only reason I haven't completely gotten out of Canon.

Lets be specific about "all arounded". If you can't measure it, then we can't discuss it, because in all practicality it exists in your mind only as an abstract concept. This is the power of its brand. Rebel series still dominates sales. Its the power of its brand.

Canon's brand did come from its history of superior lens range, reliability and innovation but most of that were true only in the PAST. They don't exists in a vacuum.

Others have caught up and are building their own brands. I hate to use this cliche example but when Apple first launched the Iphone. I bet a lot of people said the same thing about Nokia being reliable, proven on the job, user interface is solid etc. Yes its a bit different for Canon as it still has a formidable lens range, but my point is brand power may seem almighty at one point but very fragile the next, particularly if you take it for granted.

And I think Canon showing some signs it is. Joseph The only one who seem to be taking it very personally is you. Calm down, its just a camera. Joseph, everyone has a right to speak. Doesn't mean you have to take what they say seriously, there is something great to be said about ignoring comments you don't like :. I think you are projecting your own inadequacies and insecurities into the realm of camera choice. The remark about what people think of each others gear at Disney is really telling. Normal folks at amusement parks are concentrating on having fun, not on what cameras people have.

This is the world we live in. I'm not condoning it, but good luck in deciding on who or who should not speak on the internet. To me, its easier to ignore and just lead by the best example possible. Good luck! So lets look at topstuff's profile, is he a pipelpeeper or techjunkie or actually someone who uses this camera for what it is for, a tool for photography. I shoot F1 racing and action sports like Windsurifing.

The had 1 focus point, the 33 had 6. Hes a private guy who thinks Canon is holding itself back and wants to see them hit something out of the park for once.

He gets bored watching the market leader offer nothing more than "just good enough" products when they have the financial means to advance photography considerably, but choose not to. He runs a publishing firm and sees the output from pro shooters using all the gear imaginable. He can lay his hands on any gear he wants. He went into publishing because he was only an average photographer. And he learned the hard way shooting film with a Nikon FM2 and lurking in a darkroom.

He gets bored easily and shoots personal photos for himself and no-one else. He has no desire to be defined by the gear he chooses and cares nothing about brands. In the shot of the farm store truck, you lifted the shadows under the truck to the point that it looks nothing like real light i. The ISO bar shot is also way overcooked, and sharpened more than I feel wise for a noisy picture, and it looks about as good as I would expect if I abused my Nex-6 that way.

Base ISO disadvantage Canon is all about affordable telephotos that perform Thank you Dpreview for giving us some raw conversion examples.

Very useful indeed. It would be nice if you had a more systematic way of presenting these images, consistently showing unprocessed and processed images as few examples indeed are, but no one at low iso. On a different note it seems to me that shadow recovery has indeed improved considerably but again not easy to estimate from these examples. Some of the very contrasty conditions look to me as adequately handled with DR.

I cannot detect banding even in the high iso samples. Keeping my fingers crossed The shadows have been pushed hard enough to see underneath the truck — which is itself in the shade — even though the exposure, while hot, kept decent detail in the sunlit forest behind. Thanks Samuel, that is indeed one of the images I looked up and I though promising.

Just I was hoping to see a bit more aggressive processing to see the limit of the sensor. I agree, but I need to mess around more by myself with the final raw files, so far so good though. At first I was really skeptical. BTW I still don't understand why and how canon communicates on this camera, it really doesn't help Coming from a 60D it will be a nice upgrade.

I'll miss the swivel screen, but I needed something beefier for what I'll have to do. The 5D mark III would have been ideal, but it's really hard to justify if I can keep my and still push the shadows and shoot in poor conditions better then before. I haven't checked the samples from my phone but looking at comments of internet-photographers who doesn't actually take photographs but only reads internet fluff, it seems that Canon's RAWs are better than first 7D :.

I hope I can't blame the lens as a Canon lens at F8-F10 should be sharp! Even my now 3 years old Sony NEX-7 wipes the floor with this sensor looking at the amount of contrast and color I can pull out of shadows without getting noise at ISO There is no banding visible like on the 7DmkI, but that's proabably just due to a better processing.

It's made to be a fast camera with very fast AF for action and sports shooters. For them this camera will be just fine and certainly do the job.

Secondly- The DR is bad for what, number crunching and obsessing online? What application do you think the DR is not good for? Tap tap, be specific please if you can. I didn't even say the camera is crap or anything, why so nervous? The 7DmkII is certainly a nice camera for it's sports and action niche due to the superb autofocus.

If you tell me why I should use a DSLR for my landscapes or macros and why this sensor should be good enough for me then go ahead, tell me with some strong arguments! When you need fast shutter speeds moving subjects , you're almost never at base ISO. There, Canon's DR is as good or better than any. If you're not shutter speed constrained there's nothing moving in the scene , you can bracket you should be on a tripod anyway.

Also, in a high DR scene, even 13 or 14 stops may not be enough, and even then you'll get better results bracketing. This is why all the fuss about low ISO DR by other measures their sensors are as good as or better than any has not impacted Canon one bit. Most people don't care at all, and for those who do and are serious about it it doesn't matter. You do read some ridiculous statements here. Pixel level sharpness is very good.

Dpreview never over-sharpen their samples but download one of the raw conversions and sharpen a little in any programme and you will see how wrong Zeisschen is. As for dynamic range, well, anyone can see it is very good. One or two photos here actually push that hard with great results. Zeisschen Your conclusion is worthless as is your entire post. It's like ripping Usain Bolt for being a sub-par marathon runner.

The justice is, that no matter of all the trashing, this will be and by a landslide the best selling camera for its purpose. I don't assume there will be many birdwatchers throwing away their Canon telephotos and jumping the boat over to These comments are hilarious. Who cares about DR?? DR is arguably perhaps the most important metric.

I can push my files from the k5 I and IIs all over the place. I can barely push shadows from my k-7 1EV before banding gets ugly. Many scenes have wide, challenging tonal ranges.

But yeah, DR is only for pixel peepers and armchair photogs right? Its one of the most important metrics IMO. I mean it is an important parameter, don't get me wrong, but for the target group of 7dmk2 AF speed and precision, fps, buffer size, AF points coverage are FAR more important, than DR alone. That's incorrect. The increased dynamic range at base ISO is due to low levels of noise injection before the analog signal is digitized, likely because the analog to digital conversions are on the imaging chip itself and therefore very 'close' - in the signal processing chain - to the analog data coming off the image sensor.

An analysis by Chipworks indicated that a separate ADC chip is used by Canon, which they hypothesize is a large part of the reason for the extra noise injection and low dynamic range. You can think of this noise as 'additive', after the image sensor has been read. Hence it affects deep shadows of low ISO less amplified images. To provide a counter-argument to this, almost all the higher DR scenes I shot in the D gallery - including the high shutter speed ones on the beach - were ISO Often shadows were pushed stops upon stops, especially in that stairwell scene with the model.

May or may not matter to you, but to say it doesn't matter to anyone who uses a camera seriously Rishi Sanyal This is an interesting topic. It actually depends on the implementation, because having a matrix of super fast ADC on the same die as ultra sensitive analog circuitry is as much of a challenge as having to IO the analog signal and transfer it to another chip without much noise pick-up along the way.

I don't know the details about the Sony chip, but I imagine it's either a hybrid or multi-die chip or they use some sort of substrate isolation between the analog and digital part.

Thanks for supporting my arguments with your own experience and knowledge. It's so hard to discuss with diehard fanboys about things they have never seen before and obviously understand nothing about Rishi Sanyal I have read the article you mention.

It is clear, that as Sony uses 0. But that also means designing those ADCs in-house and paying eventual royalties for patented technologies. Since Sony is a large technological power house, they likely have access to truckloads of IPs in many process nodes and it is the cheapest option for them to design their own MCM because for the ADCs all they need to do is open the drawer and pick one.

The same way it seems to me, that it is the cheapest option for Canon to buy the ADCs as a standalone product and not try to outperform Analog Devices in their own game. It will be interesting to see what Canon will do in the future, eventually they have to go down in the process. Zeisschen: "It's so hard to discuss with diehard fanboys about things they have never seen before and obviously understand nothing about That makes sense.

I enjoy all brands. Like I said, and I think this is definitely true: Canon users are vast, most of them are fine with the output in raw from the sensors they produce. Canon can stand to improve their sensors however, and they should. Right now, two such situations come to mind, architectural photography and landscapes. One more, night time photography, where you have extreme contrasts between lit and shadow areas, and where you might actually want to keep details in the highlights and pull a bit the shadows to get some detail there as well.

Don't get me wrong, the 7D Mk. II is a great camera, and i would buy one to complement my aging Canon bodies, but not with this sensor technology. You seem to suggest anyone wanting good IQ and high DR should just bracket, use a tripod and so on. Well, i can still use a Pentium4 to process images today, it's all in the photographers ability, and you can certainly do it just fine.

But why would you use a P4 today when you have finer machines? And no, i'm not suggesting the 7D Mk. It solved my issue. It covered my problem, but the solution still didn't work for me. The information on the page is hard to understand. It has nothing to do with my issue. Back to top. AE Lock.
