The 80D had rated slightly higher than the 7D2.
#CANON 7D REVIEW 2018 ISO#
I cannot remember which site, because I really do not look at them, one of them "rates" the highest effective ISO that the camera body is useful. The images are a little hard to compare because of their resolution differences. I would have to agree with you for those test images. the 7D II seems to beat the 80D by a little more than 1 stop (maybe 1.5). I'm staring at the test images on DPReview This is a subjective opinion on my part, but most test reports seem to bear this out.
#CANON 7D REVIEW 2018 FULL#
The 80D does not show as much noise until ISO 1600, one full stop better. My preference is for the IQ of the 80D, which has roughly 25% higher it comes to image quality, I think the 80D has less noise than the 7D2 at higher ISO settings. I find it weird that one body could be rated with better ISO, while the other is rated to have better IQ. You would have to do some serious pixel peeping to see the differences in ISO and IQ. I would give the 80D the nod in nearly every other category, though. The 7D2 wins the body build category, hands down. You could create your own AF presets by saving your current camera settings as a custom shooting mode, if you wanted. The default AF settings are the same as Case 1. The 7D2 AF cases settings are nothing more than presets for 3 AF settings, which alter the AF tracking behavior. The 80D will give 27 AF points with that lens setup. The 7D2 will gI’ve you only one AF point with this combination. I like to use EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM with EF 1.4x III extender. The 7D2 has only one AF point capable of focusing at f/8, the center AF point. The 80D gives you 27 AF points capable of focusing at f/8. The 80D may have fewer AF points, but it has the next generation Dual Pixel AF. The two bodies are too close to justify those parameters as reason to switch, not unless you just want two camera bodies. Do not expect any improvement in IQ or AF performance. Like I posted earlier, the 7D2 definitely has the edge when it comes to body build. If build quality is your priority, then by all means go for it. The more expensive bodies may have better performance in one category or another, but in most cases the differences will only matter seasoned want to switch because of faster shutter spped, 2 card slots and weather sealed But, you already have one of the best buys in the Canon DSLR lineup. So, why do you want to switch bodies? If your 80D had died, then i could understand considering a different body. Both the 7D2 and 1D4 need significantly more Noise Reduction applied to their images at ISO 12800. The 6D2 produces acceptable images at ISO 12800 with modest Noise Reduction. I have used all of these bodies photographing “Friday Night Lights”, and the 6D2 runs circles around the 1D4 and 7D2. Like the 80D, it tracks moving subjects very well. The 6D2 uses the same generation AF system as the 80D, literally. Advantage, 7D2 for the higher resolution. The 7D2 has a next generation AF system compared to the 1D4. I would liken it to being a precursor to the 7D2. The 7D2 only has one AF point capable f/8, while the 80D has 27 f/8 AF points. While the 7D2 has more AF points, the 80D has the next generation AF system compared to the 7D2. They are too close to justify jumping ship from the 80D to the 7D2. When it comes to the number of AF points and AF tracking, the two bodies are fairly close. When it comes to image quality, I think the 80D has less noise than the 7D2 at higher ISO settings. For most users, the difference in build quality is insignificant. The biggest difference between the bodies is build quality. If you are thinking of switching from the 80D to a 7D2, then save your money.
