I shoot a 7D mk II fairly often, mainly wildlife, and I don't find it to be all that noisy and the noise is easily removed in post processing. Based on your original posting, could at least some of the problem be user related?!

I have a G1X mk II. It's a nice bridge camera. A little on the pricy side when it first came out but more reasonable now. The only thing I don't like is the EVF is optional and the articulating screen has somewhat limited movement, but it's far better than a fixed screen. It has lots of features and functionality for a bridge camera but, unless you or your wife has fairly large pockets, it is not really a pocket camera, but it will fit in a decent size purse, but not a clutch. Another option you may consider is the SX60HS. I have one of them also and it's a pretty nice camera; easy to use and it has an EVF and a really long zoom. If you have a Canon DSLR, the Rebel SL1 or the new SL2 are nice. They're the smallest DSLR'S made and all Canon EF lenses fit them.

The 7D mk II is the ideal choice for wildlife and you already have that one. I never got a 5D mk III but I know a few folks who have one and they like their cameras. The mk III is getting long on the tooth technology wise but it is still a good solid camera. I personally have a 5D MK IV and a 5DSR. The mk IV is my general purpose full frame and the DSR is my high resolution specialty full frame. If you want a full frame, have a collection of EF lenses and don't want to shell out well over 3 grand, get the 6D mk II. It's an excellent camera and it has 2017 technology.

The low pass filter, which is there to prevent a condition known as moire, does indeed introduce a very mild amount of blur but the Canon cameras do not produce blurry images. If that were the case, no one would buy Canon DSLR'S, and believe me, Canon sells quite a few of them. The images from my 80D are just as sharp as the images from my D7200. The only was you would notice a real difference is if you went pixel peeping or enlarged the images to the size of large double doors.

Since I guess you don't have any "serious" camera right now. I would recommend you to investigate into the mirrorless cameras. Although I personally do not like them I strongly recommend you to look into them. As far as DSLR, only Canon, Pentax and Nikon still make DSLR's (I know Hasselbald and Leica also make medium format DSLR's) so check them out.
I believe Olympus and Sigma still make DSLR's.

Looks yummy. Last time I say Roger Waters live was at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. He still puts on a darn good show and looks really good for his age. I'd love to see him perform with Gilmour again, but that will probably never happen again. They did make great music together.

I own and recommend virtually anything in the Canon line of cameras, particularly the t3i, t5i, etc.
Me again; I own Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras, primarily Canon, and I just want to point out they are all good, all of them. Some are a little better in some areas than others but all the major players manufacturer excellent cameras. As far as ergonomics go, in my opinion Canon leads. In current consumer sensor technology, Sony has the edge.
Like many others will recomended, you really should go to a store that has a good variety of cameras and hold them in your hands, get a feel of how they feel. Good luck on your choice...

In a DSLR, Nikon D3400 or Canon T6 bundles with lenses and "stuff" can be had for around $500. A T6i bundle is around $750.
Since you are starting fresh you may want to do some reading and seriously consider mirrorless instead of DSLR. Smaller body and electronic view finder have real advantages over DSLR'S and since you don't have a lens collection yet, the options are numerous.

Here is using a solar filter. Worked just fine on sunspots. You must have had a real crappy filter and that is too bad you paid so much for one that failed.
PS welder's glass must be a minimum of #14 or you are screwed.

Honestly, not that good, way too dark. I put a solar filter on my D500 with 28-300 Nikkor zoom this morning, pointed it at the sun and got a better shot than that. I did use a slightly higher ISO, manual focus, don't remember the aperture or shutter. Point is, maybe using an actual solar filter may help, plus lots of practice. The hardest part is finding the sun in the otherwise black view finder. Best of luck with your photos and be real careful. The sun will burn your retina real quick...

Use a solar filter intended for a telescope. They come in varying sizes so you don't need to pay the cost of an exact fit. I'm not going to do the research for you as you are probably just as capable of using Google or bing as I am. The big camera and optics stores sell a wide assortment of these filters as does amazon.com and ebay.

Interesting concept using 16 individual sensors to achieve 81mpx. Personally I prefer all the pixels on 1 chip, like Canon's new 120 mpx APS-H size image sensor. Wonder what camera that little gem will end up in?!

I wonder how he could have three editions, let alone four. Has something changed in the exposure triangle? I got mine in 2012, so I supposed everything has changed since then. 
He made a few changes and added additional content; and they used a slightly different spacing of the text to make the book longer giving the illusion there is more to it so people will need to buy the newest edition to get all the new info...8^)
