Remember, you're probably comparing newer full-frame cameras to your old 7D, which is three or four generations old. Moore's Law also applies to sensors and processors. The 7D MkII has a brand new sensor and two Digic -Six processors.

I assume you're shooting Raw, but, if not, you need to be. You'll have great control of shadows, contrast, color balance, etc. Those that use in-camera JPEG are using setting decided on by a committee of Japanese engineers. Why would you do that? Plus, properly exposed Raw images will yield another f-stop of dynamic range.

I own both a full-frame and a 7D and have the 7D MkII preordered. I'm looking forward to the new camera's detail resolution and improved dynamic range over the 7D.

I shoot raw only if I could afford to keep the 7D then I definitely would. I do own the EOS M as well so if I want the APS-C sensor for whatever reason I still have access to one, just not the AF...

If the 6D's AF is sufficient to take pics like these I'll be happy
