Not having seen the samples I can't comment on them. But you can look at the full res samples I've posted and judge for yourself. They're straight out of the camera JPEGs with no adjustment. Keep in mind that whenever you look at images on the computer at 100%, you're not seeing them as they were intended to be viewed or at their best. Viewing at full size on the computer is useful for comparing noise levels. But you have to consider resolution as well. If you view a 10-megapixel file and a 20-megapixel file side to side on the computer and they look the same, you have to remember that the noise in the larger file will be effectively minimized at a normal viewing size.

What kinds of subjects do you shoot? I'm interested in the 7D because I shoot action. If I didn't and low light shooting was a priority, I'd definitely be looking at the 5D Mark II. It's a great camera. But it's not a great sports camera.
