Differences between Canon 5D + 7D - IQ and look

I think you're right dadoboy. But that's where properly white balancing the scene comes in I would think (especially as the light/or lack of it changes). I think most of those shots were pretty much static (or under the same ligting).
 
I don't think most people are white balancing at all or even know how to.

Hell, on the 5dMkii you can even dial in what specific degree of Kelvin you want!

I hope it can white balance like my Canon point and shoot.
You program a button for white balance, and then just point at a neutral white or grey item, and press the button, a flash emits of known intensity, and it auto white balances from the result. It literally takes seconds.
 
I'm not sure it does the in between ISO's maybe Phil can fill us in?

According to the 7D manual, the ISO speed increment can be either 1 full stop or 1/3 stop by changing Custom Function C.Fn I-2.

The white balance can be set manually by reading a white object or dialing in the color temperature within a range of 2500K to 10000K in 100K increments.

This review deals mostly with the photo abilities but it sounds good:

As a summary I would say that the new AF system in the 7D is very impressing, and I will rate it as the best AF system I have tried (including 1D/1DS Mark III)
Therefore, I have been very excited about the image quality of the new 7D camera, especially considering that it has APS-C image sensor (1.6 crop factor)..............
what I've seen so far, it can withstand comparisons with image files from both the 5D Mark II and 1DS Mark III, especially with ISO settings below ISO 800 I photographed most of my test pictures with ISO values at ISO 500, but with the water droplets, I used ISO 1600. Even at ISO 1600, I think there are surprisingly little noise, even without any noise reduction.

I'll be back soon with some beta-clips from the 7D-video, so stay tuned....​
 
@ xbourque

You´re right, but i only copied that link from another forum. Its the same text and actually it isn´t worth to talk about ;-)

Man-man...did you see the detail in that crop of the goose? If this thing had uncompressed HDMI out it would have been (more) dangerous.

Yes, its quite a lot of information and perhaps that could be a bit of a problem...
 
... Certainly, he´ll explain it on his blog...

He said that he´ll upload the original file:
The video is captured in 50P (1280 x 720 pixels), but I set the export to 1080p as usual in Compress (Final Cut). I will replace it with a 720P clip tomorow… Ole Jørgen
This might also be interesting: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/wedding...ques/396915-canon-7d-vs-5d-any-questions.html. Perhaps he will give us a bit more information in the next couple of days...
