EOS R7 "Noise issues at higher ISO, what am I doing wrong?"

[Kngawolf]

Hi Good people 😁

I have been taking images in some lower light situations of my 13 year old daughters karate exploits.

However at 4000 ISO and even 2500 ISO I am seeing severe noise, even to the point of the images not being usable.

For the last event it was my R&, EF 70-200F2.8ii plus EF->RF adaptor
Typically 160th/s-F2.8 ISO4000

I am not trying to pixel peek and identify eyelashes by name on a A0 print, but my old Canon 650D gave me better results.

Basically I am wondering what I have gotten wrong, in settings or am I misjudging  the light in the arena. I cannot imagine this is the quality of the sensor, albeit a densely packed high megapixel unit, much more likely an error from behind the camera

Thanks, yes I see that

You can always exchanged using MPB or KEH. That's what I did with mine paying the difference in price. Got a R6 with less than 800 shots.
