Canon 1D Mk 4 and Canon 7D
Hi to all,
i have the Canon eos 1D MK 4 for birdphotography and for weddings(i am pro. wedding photographer)
but i dont like to have the same camera both of them!
i want to buy the 7D only for birdphotography...al the time together with my canon EF 500f/4
please tell me the difference between two cameras...i know the price of Mk 4 is three times more than 7D(MK 4 is better:S3:)
But i want to learn the defference to the NOISE in high iso and to the Auto focus
thanks a lot!
I have both and here's my take...
Taking the autofocus and fps out of the equation, here is what I have found doing side-by-side comparisons...and trust me when I state that I have done numerous tests with both of these cameras...
When a focal-length-limited subject is taken with both cameras, meaning you can't move closer to the subject, and the images are cropped identically, (7D images are cropped less than the 1DM4 due to the sensor sizes) the 7D produces a higher resolution image with slightly higher noise levels. After applying noise reduction software to both of the camera's images, the results are about as close as identical as they can be.
As far as color, it is the RAW converter that plays a greater role in this, not the sensor.
With that stated, the 1D Mark IV has a slightly better autofocus system and faster fps. Also the wider field-of-view (larger sensor) there is less of a chance of clipping a wing out-of-frame for a bird-in-flight shot.
I do like the 7D over the 1D Mark IV for video work and for whatever reason, I have less of a problem with a dirty sensor on the 7D vs the Mark IV.
