550d video quality not as good as 7D?

Seems like you have other problems going on here. The 7D and T2i are identical. Which lens are you shooting with? The T2i does not experience noise until around 1600 Iso. I think you need to have a drink and relax because you are overreacting.

Yes but the way they process the image isn't. Most people are saying the quality is the same though, so I don't know why there would be an issue here.

Seems like he had a drink and deleted his post. Sure the 7D has advantages over the T2i like we all know, but using the same lens and the exact same settings should yield virtually identical footage. The only difference that could be told would be running test.

I believe Barry ran some test and showed exactly what is going on. At the end though the OP needs to relax.
 
Well the cameras aren't identical. One costs about a thousand bucks more. There was a post detailing the difference of the the 7D when you shoot at the odd iso settings. Long story short the conclusions were that the 7D is cleaner when you shoot at 160, 320, 640, and 1250. The T2i has no in between iso settings so that could account for the noise you're seeing. Anyone remember the link I'm talking about?

ISO/Noise tests. 1080/24p, lens cap on. In FCP, native format, maxed the mids, applied same filter to every clip. Large video version is uploading.. Handheld, skewtastic footage to come..

I've noticed a huge difference between 7D and 550 footage all shot at the same settings. At 1600, the 7D's were just beginning to get noticeably noisy whereas the 550 was looking really really bad.
You pay for processors and this is what ultimately will help give you good footage or not.

The 7D is about $600-700+ more expensive camera. I think many test have been done that proves they are basically equal. Now adjusting the iso probably does have different results but to be fair these are limitations we must be aware of and work around them.

Maybe using better lenses on the T2i, Lights, etc. can allow us to try to keep our iso at 800 without having to raise it. Sure sometimes we have to go up to 3200 to get our shot, but we need to avoid that.

Software and other tricks can be done though to try and remove some of the noise. At the end of the day we have to understand our cameras limitations.
 
They are not the same cameras. With their similar sized sensors they can produce similar looking images but not in all circumstances.
 
people complain if 7d and t2i are identical in video and people complain if they arent identical in video,this is so great.
 
my only complain on t2i is it should have the the extra ISOs & AGC. maybe the histogram during movie mode..

magic lantern where are you?

It's just human nature. Some people feel like they always have to have one up on the next person so it just clouds thier objectivity.

The 550d can use the intermediate ISOs (they are used by the camera in auto ISO mode). They are not selectable manually though. In other words, this was a feature that Canon deliberately don't include on their consumer range, but the electronics is there if they wanted to.

The reason for the cost difference is because of the build quality, autofucus system, 8fps and other features aimed at still photographers. From a video point of view there is very little difference.
 
Didn't read it. Once it is already deleted and I don't know the reasons of the original poster, can anyone reproduce the original post and quote it please?
