More on Canon ESO 7D ISO 3200, 6400 and 12800 (H)

ISO 3200
I have no hesitate to print any on these photos.

[View with PicLens]

ISO 6400
Again, I have no issue to print here photos too.

[View with PicLens]

ISO 12800 (H)
The photos have a lot of noises but as remember – it was really dark. Looks at the first photo, the door bell is over exposure. Can you imagine that, even the door bell light was brighter then surrounding light. It was dark. As family photos – ya still usable but no big print.

Baby Steps to Video DSLR

David Chen — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:05:36 +0000

The moment I got my Canon EOS 7D, I feel like a kid of getting his new toy. I’m very excited in term of its ability in still photos and also video. I have been trying to do more video recording but there a lot of challenges:

shaky camera
hard to see if a subject in focus or not especially outdoor in day light.
manual focus (cause by item 2.)
… I remembered it couple minutes ago but now, it just blame. Well, well.

New 7D firmware 1.1.0

David Chen — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:59:28 +0000

This version Canon:

“Corrects a phenomenon that in images captured by continuous shooting, and under certain conditions, barely noticeable traces of the immediately preceding frame may be visible.”

You can download the firmware here.

No, I haven’t updated mine. Normally I’m not do it right away especially the fix has not much affected me. Most probably I will do in next couple of days.
