Take a look at this shot from Canon's new 1Ds Mark II. This is a direct-from-camera shot, resized down from 16.7MP. Shot at ISO 3200, with only natural light from a window in the ceiling, 1/80th second, Æ’/5.0, Canon 100-400 at 135mm.

Pretty darn impressive for ISO 3200 I'd say...

I knew this camera would be awesome. I doubt I'll buy anything other than that camera. But at 8000 bucks without a lens that will be a long, long, long time.

That looks around about ISO 800 on a 10D. Amazing. How much better is the 1Ds to the 1D? If I had to choose between the two I'd have a very hard time deciding.

That's awesome.

Now I only need 7994 more dollars and I can get one....

Ya, but if you can afford a 1Ds Mark II then you can probably afford a room full of strobes too - and a small army of helpers to carry them around for you wherever you go. :)

That is one amazing camera. I am hoping there is a rush to buy the 1Ds Mark II and then people will be selling off their old 1Ds cameras on Ebay.

That looks like my D70 at ISO 200!! lol. Oh well, sigh.

Well, the good news is cameras like this will probably cost $2,000 or so in a couple of years. But then we'll all want the 30MP camera.

Damn...

And I am impressed by the low noise 20D performance.

You don't have the full image do you? I'd be interested in a 100% crop of, say, the top left corner of his glasses showing a bit of frame, and a bit of the tinted glass...

Impressive.

Amazing! I shoot at 800 and 1600 quite a lot with my 300D but I now need, no want, one of these babies. Just need to win the lottery and its mine, all mine!!

:-)

looks like they mis-focused to me - the hat, and jacket collar seem to be the crispest.

Hmmm, I get a lot of noise--more than I expected when I bought the camera, at ISO 400!

Could there be something wrong with it? (I shoot in RAW).

Anyone want to do a test of sorts with me, comparing same shots? (E.g., same lens etc. I have the 50 1.8 we probably all have in common.)

Forget 3200 I just wish Nikon would come out with a ISO 25 or 50. I'm sick of using ND filters. When I shot film I never shot faster than 50 color or 100 B&W. ISO 200 is just too fast.

I suppose the fact that it's downsized almost 3:1 in linear resolution is helping average the noise out, but still, WOW. Unbelievable at ISO 3200.
