Canon 7d Mark II High ISO Performance

On Veterans Day, I was able to take the new 7d mark II out for a spin at Blendon Woods Metropark.  Overall, I am extremely impressed with the clean images it produces at high ISO.  I would absolutely have no problems shooting at ISO 3200 when needed.  The first image of the female cardinal and the last image of the white-throated sparrow were both shot at ISO 3200.  Since Lightroom does not support raw files from this new camera, all of these images were processed in Canon Digital Photo Professional 3.14.45.0 using default settings for noise reduction.  After converting to jpeg, I adjusted contrast and sharpness with Photoshop CC 2014.  The bottom line? The 7d Mark II is an awesome wildlife camera.
