The 7D - the lowest noise Canon APS-C, but far from the 5D2

Note: I am talking about the RAW images.

The 7D is excellent in the noise department.

The "read noise" on pixel level is equal to or slightly lower than the 40D and 50D with ISO 100 and 200. From ISO 400 the 7D is somewhat better, and ISO 3200 (the top useful ISO of the 7D with raw) is quite better than the 40D.

All that is with 80% more pixels .

However, there is no question: this is far from the 5D2. Pixel (sensel) size does matter.
