Settings for Canon EOS 7D and 5DMKII?

Hi,

I'm new with C1 and at this time a little bit playing with this software and Media Pro because I will optimize my EBV workflow.
I have two "issues" with Capture One.

- noise reduction is much worse Apple Aperture or DPP (Canon RAW Converter)
- Color reproduction is often "wrong" "to strange" (I can't find the right word)

There are any Canon DSLR especially 7D and 5DMKII users? Do you use any own presets for this cameras? Maybe can you tell me this?
Most of my photos are wildlife of course without any defined light settings 😊 For me as beginner with C1 are DPP or Aperture
doing better job but I believe that I have not the correct settings for my cameras.

Thanks

  These suggestions are for the 7D.
  
  1. Keep away from Cap One with high ISO files - it's OK with the 7D up to about 800 ISO (1000 ISO at a pinch, assuming a properly exposed - or better, ETTR - file) but even then the files may need PP selective noise reduction. Cap One just doesn't do high ISO well: compare it with this, for example - 5000 ISO from my 7D (1/25 at f/4 - and 420mm, handheld while testing the stabilisation of my then-new Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 OS and 1.4x - so proper low light), converted in Lightroom, no additional/PP noise reduction. Cap One can't get anywhere near this, unfortunately.
  
  2. Do not sharpen in Cap One - save it all for the post processing stage.
  
  3. The 7D profile is not very good: I've renamed the 1D Mk III profile so that it's called as the 7D profile, and colour results are a lot better - less garish and over-saturated.
  
  I shoot wildlife too, Robi - birds, in the main - and although it might sound like I'm not happy with Cap One (and there are things I'm not happy with, noise handing and sharpening being chief among them - highlight recovery could be better too) it's still my favourite converter for "good light" files up to 800-1000 ISO.

  Thank you for the answer.
  
  Which application are you using for pictures over ISO 800? I tried LR4 but it's to buggy and to slowly 😉

  I use Lr 4 for high ISO images, Robi - it's fine on my machine.

  keith, would you share your LR4 noise reduction techniques? Many thanks😊

  Hello Mark,
  
  I don't know if it's appropriate to do that on a competitor's website, but I'll write something on my website about it (not that there's anything sophisticated about what I do in Lr) and let you know when it's done.
