And the 7D. I guess that's why P&S cameras beat the resolution and images from a Canon 7D. That says a whole lot for all other brands and models of DSLRs then if the 7D is setting a standard for DSLRs. http://darwinwiggett.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/the-canon-7d/

So instead of convincing "Samantha" to replace her D200 with a 7D, she buys a D300s. -- Regards, Savageduck

It's not his opinion that I depend on, I never depend on anyone's opinion. It's the comparison photos posted that say more than you or anyone else ever will. Show me another site where direct comparison photos contradict the ones he posted and I might be compelled to change my assessment, but only by a little. It will be just one more data point, it might even be rigged, now that DSLR worshippers know of those test results and have a vested interest in trying to justify their camera's expense. Considering that Wiggett seems to take pride in DSLR gear and was surprised by the results, I have to strongly presume he didn't try to rig the results. Until then that comparison stands true--that three year's-worth of inexpensive models of P&S cameras are better than this year's DSLRs. Especially if that 7D is supposed to be setting any kind of standard among DSLRs.

This is always a problem when testing a single sample, whether it be a camera, a lens or anything else. No matter which price bracket the item is in, there will always be sample variation. And the Wiggett test is clearly of a sample that did not achieve the expected standard. It should have been exchanged for another sample. As you say, every other article on the 7D is very positive. It is a fine camera, and Nikon has a real job on its hands to match it. Nikon also needs to respond to the entry-level EOS 550D/Rebel T2i which appears to use the same sensor as the 7D. |
