Hi all,
About a year ago I swapped my aging 600d for an R7. I felt like the poor ISO performance on the 600d was starting to limit my photos and I fancied a jump up to mirrorless.
I stuck with Canon because I have a 70-200mm 2.8L (original version, no IS) and a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS.
I mainly shoot wildlife and Motorsport and have the shorter lens as a walkabout travel lens. Both are mounted using an official Canon EF-RF adapter.
I don't know if it's my settings (mainly shoot on aperture priority or manual) or the pixel density but I'm feeling a bit disappointed in the upgrade.
I feel like the pictures I'm getting aren't quite the change I was expecting. I seem to be getting grainy or soft focus far more than I did with my old camera (even at low ISO).
Although I have been doing this a while, I still consider myself a bit of a beginner but I'm sure with the settings I'm using I should be getting better shots.
While sat musing while trying to process my latest set of photos last night I wonder if the older and lower end lens are starting to show limitations with a high MP crop sensor.
Any opinions, or recommendations of anything I should look for in the menu? Or am I just looking for a quick fix that could be resolved better through technique and skill?
