I've read something similar in the past myself, although I seem to remember it was 320, 640, 1250 or something along those lines. I've used my 5D mostly for interview type projects where it works really well. To be fair to the 7D I'm sure it does the same thing just as well. The biggest problem I had was shooting in 720p because the line twitter is noticeably worse than at 1080p. The other benefit of shooting 1080 is that you can scale the final output down to 720 and hide most of the visual issues. At 720 that's not so easy. At 1080 the 7D shoots great images, it's not quite as good in low light as the 5D, but otherwise it's just as capable. Hi Robert.

Iv read that the native ISO of the DSLRs produce less noise eg: 100,200,400,800 etc so in theory 800 iso in low light would preform better than 640 iso? do you know anything about this. From the footage I have seen on line the 5D always seems to have the edge on the 7D which is why I just got the 5D. Your blog is excellent, very well done and informative, keep up the good work paul.
