Raw File Test: Canon 5D Mk II vs 7D vs Nikon D5100
Not long ago, we did a quick high ISO test of the Canon 5D Mk II, 7D, and Nikon D5100. We decided to revisit the test and perform another non-scientific comparison. This time though, we rated the high ISO value and the dynamic range of each camera.
