T2i review - The D5000 and K-x RAW samples NR

[SpartanWarrior]

Don't forget I already have a 7D that is awesome and from what I have read the AF on the 7D smokes the 5D II so I don't know still need to think about it.

You know, I think you're right. I just looked at the 100% crops of 6400 and 12800 and it looks like they might be a stop different. Still, it is a stop. All of a sudden your 70-200mm f/4 becomes a f/2.8! Well, not quite. Of course there are other reasons to choose a 5DMII over the 550d, just is it worth it to you?

You think that there is that much difference between the 7D and 5D II in low noise?
isn't it something like 1 stop?

Exactly what I did and changed back to Canon fast (within 6 months)
and am going to buy me a 550D as a back up to my 7D
I was thinking of getting the 5D II but don't think I really need to.

Whoa, if you have the money, do it! The majority of my shooting is lowlight and I could only dream of shooting at 12,800 and having good results. Not to mention wide-angle shots. It would be a pain to have larger file sizes to edit though since the 550D's bog my computer down as it is.

2.) I owned the K-7 for a couple of months, testing it in every way possible. I was not that impressed. The processing was slow... from the time from you pressed the shutter button to the time the image displayed was 2-3 seconds, the Canon displays it instantly.

Mine displays instantly after pressing the shutter button. You must have turned on PF/distortion correction. It's a common setting that will slow down processing by around 2-3 seconds.

I never used any of the lens correction stuff because I used a Tamron 17-50mm. I also didn't apply any noise reduction or anything else because I shoot 100% RAW. The metering was screwed up too, though, so I may have just had a bad sample.

bertmoog:

This might have been discussed thousands of time in this forum.

I thought canon optical vibration stability control is better than pentax sensor IS type. Who do you like pentax IS? Is it becasuse of lower price lens?

It's definitely better. The problem is that you have to pay for that... every single lens you buy... you keep paying for it, but with the Pentax, you pay for it once... and not much at that. Plus there are very few large aperture lenses with IS. I could be mistaken but I don't think you will find a 50mm f/1.4 with IS, from any manufacturer. That is where the sensor IS comes in handy. Not to mention, with the Pentax, you could get the Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 for less than $700 or the Sigma for about $850 and have stabilization, whereas with the Canon, you would have to shell out around two grand for the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS.

Also don't forget in body IS works nothing like IS on lens, there is no compitition

maybe pentax should redesign there body-IS system. On Sony it works fine. It's fast, quite.

No it is fine works good on Pentax to, but it is not like IS on lens and that goes for all in body IS.
