If you look closely , DPP can preserve reds much better in low light ( after applying NR ) when LR

I would suggest to start with small , minimal tool set like DPP ( although it is best software in its' class , and free , it is still can't open full potential of RAW image ) . Once you'll feel...

When you were pressing the shutter button the first time - did the VF went black ? If it did - you were "messing" with mirror lockup

I would try HDR technique on maximum EV spend  , when your darkest EV is the moon . And you'll need a tripod (or just any stable surface) .

That is the only option you got , as far as remember , you can't even change to "quick mode" (phase detection - fast and accurate but noisy ) and limited to contrast detection (live view - slow and...

The lens optics is good , it's the AF motor that ruins its' reputation (for me at least) .

You going to have to look it up on the net , I saw it before , but I can't address you to somewhere particular (but it is there for sure and free download) .  You won't find it on Canon site (as...

Placed 58^th in the challenge.

I am actually expecting for every new sensor (as this one presented by Canon) to be better than predecessor .
True , one will never tell from looking at A4 print which print came from which model...

a complete lack of texture on objects at this ISO (the poll , glass ) is something to think about if you might want to crop your photo , though as I said above , it is hard to tell , if it is the...

looking at these samples , I'll say one thing for sure : next sample gallery should be taken with high-end lens , since this ,the kit one , ruins objective IQ judging by it's "kit" properties such...

Photo Ninja . I already wrote about it and I'll say again - in my subjective opinion it has best noise reduction engine  today (it has more to offer , but NR our topic here) .

With such shallow DOF you must be sure that lens MA is calibrated well , on the other hand , there is issue of back and front focus under different types of artificial light . I know this bug was...

Well , now it is much more clear : check your NR settings and push in camera Sharpness bit more . BTW , as said before , if you'll switch to RAW , the gray mash on the second image will become tree...

As default : set an ISO to 1600-3200 (as said before me) and go practicing on pushing shutter button really smooth , because you'll need it for shooting on 1\30th-1\60th , and keep it RAW for...

"I suspect that if you test your own camera and lens combinations you will find that they are sharpest in the f/5.6 to f/11 region too, as long as that is at least 1 stops closed down from the...

what I wonder , is how many time they've dropped the cameras on the asphalt , while waving their hand like they had :)

If original image was JPG , check noise reduction settings - set it to LOW , since it looks like over NR applied If you shot in RAW , just try to apply more sharpness (it goes for JPG too) in PP -...

I wouldn't ask someone else to do a full research over topic of my interest (I sure would do it myself) , I was more hopping to get a quick answer from someone Canon industry production (not user)...

So far it seems none can get a solid answer (link would be appreciated)  : does 550D and 7D have the same sensor ?
