Preparing for Birds in Flight Photography Training

Comparing the Canon EOS 7D Mark II and EOS R7 reveals how sensor technology, pixel density, processing and dynamic range influence the practical interpretation of ISO—and why high ISO can sometimes be the correct photographic decision. The ISO number is standardised; the photographic result is not. Comparing the EOS 7D Mark II and EOS R7 illustrates why ISO must be interpreted in the context of sensor technology, exposure and intended output.
