Hi,

I want to upgrade my almost 4 years old Canon 40D; my choice is the 7D; i mention that i will use it only with high quality L lenses, 40% for people studio work (portraits postures, isolated on white) 30% for objects, food, desserts  (in studio, over various backgrounds) and 30% for cases where the 1.6 crop factor and 8 frames/sec is a huge advantage. I am not interested in high ISO capability of the camera above ISO 400.

My questions are:

- how is performing the 7D sensor in studio shooting people over white background???? ( i am  interesting mostly in image noise levels at iso 100-200 , the ability to produce sharp images and the ''problems'' with the hair over white background)

- the lvl of details and overall IQ produced by 7D in studio is above average considering today stock standards ( SS standards in special)?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience,

Nick.

In the studio, if you are planning brightly lit images, you will be fine.  If you are planning dimly lit, dramatic images or high contrast images, I think you will have trouble with noise and chromatic aberration so much so that the micros will reject some of them.

If you do decide to go the 7D anyway....then also consider the 60D - it's the same sensor and it costs less.

I had a 60D I bought in May, a 7D I purchased in July, and I sold them both in November (each had between 10,000 and 12,000 actuations before I gave up on them).

You should be fine...the focus system will be a big change for you though.  Any chance you can rent one before you buy?

every SLR camera, even a cheap Nikon D40 or an old EOS has great quality pictures at ISO100/200 :D

p.s: get a 50mm if you dont have the money to get a 24 70 or 70 200, you will see how good they come out

 ;) i use 17-40 f/4 L, 100mm f/2.8 and  50mm 1.4 , and for certain details does not every SLR have good quality.

Let put it this way: is 7D significant better than 40D (IQ and noise at base ISO? i have friends with Nikon cameras, 5D , 40D, 50D, rebels ,but not with 7D. i just want to hear the opinion from those people that use this camera model.... All the best ,

Nick.
