Has any one tried the mk1 7d grip to see if it works on the mk11 as they share the same battery?
@RedRobin - I believe that all oem RAW converters work like DPP by assigning standard settings during conversion. The beauty of RAW is that you can override them at will. I always keep sharpening and NR switched on just in case I need to make a quick in-camera jpg, but reduce them to 0 in DPP and apply the correct USM and NR in Photoshop as the last stage. I think you may be missing out by not using DPP at this time.

no it will not fit

I know nothing about grips - I assume that the 7D2 grip takes two LP-E6N batteries?
And is also strong enough to dangle a body with mounted telephoto lens (400 + 1.4x my heaviest) off a BlackRapid strap? (The grip would be the link to the BR strap).
Its tiny. No way can I use this seriously without a grip. Seems to be heavy on battery use so a grip makes even more sense.
Don't forget UK VAT when you bring it into the country. That would make it £1464. At least there's no import duty on cameras.Going to Thailand on Friday for 4 weeks, so just checked the 7D2 body price at Foto File in Bangkok and it's Baht 63,900 (incl. tourist VAT refund) which is about £1,220. I'll be sorely tempted.
But that destroys the point of the exercise, surely. Reducing images in size also reduces noise. If you're interested in noise - and why else were you shooting at different ISO settings - then you need to compare 100% crops from each image, not reduced versions of each image.Took some test shots this afternoon at ISO 400,800,1600,3200 & 6400 ... All I have done is resize them.
DXOmark score not great LINK
I don't place much value on their camera scoring system. We should only ever be buying Nikons based on their sensor scores.
Don't think ill be paying 5 bucks for his set up guide. It was worth reading for one bit of info. I always keep my camera in AI servo and then change back to one shot if I need it. After reading his review I've now got the AE lock button programmed to single point spot focus and one shot when I press it. So now best of both worlds. Thanks for that.
in saying that I would be interested to see how this body performs at 6400 in a full size file.
Do you have a full size link to that shot above at 16000 so we can see how much detail is retained at all please?
.... @dalegt4 Are you referring to my 16000 shot in post #242?
I notice many people that favour a certain manufacturer (be it Canon, Nikon, Pentax etc) say the say thing when their favourite make gets a bad score on DXOmark but are quick enough to quote the same web site when the same manufacturer gets a decent one.
Personally I don't place much value on their camera scoring either but I always take notice of their sensor marks. Whether I let them influence my choice of camera is another matter though.
Can I say yes please to a full res of both please, and a couple at base ISO?
Ta
Lowest ISO non expanded... ISO 100
Thanks for those will have a peek when on the laptop!
....I didn't shoot any in that session at ISO 100 as I felt confident I didn't need to check the noise at ISO 100 and am more interested in the higher ISO parameters and what to set up as ISO range maximums in the camera on occasions when using Auto ISO. Sorry!
