slap slap slap slap? Very loud. Amount of time people turned and looked at me coz they heard a slap of the mirror.

ASA 3200 is very nice. Infact I'm quite tempted to sell on my 20D and upgrade, the only thing I slightly dislike is the sensor crop. Nikon is the way to go now I think as far as noise reduction at high asa goes, problem being I cant afford either the D300 or D3. Meh!

The 40D is a very capable camera.
I must say the D300 is a cracking camera from Nikon !

Doesn't seem that bad to me. It's quieter than my 300D was, and I've never had anyone mention that. Although I generally go out on my todd with the camera, and with people that don't know any different so they don't care

! the 40D is louder than the 300D but it sounds more "real" than the 300D (less plastic,. more mechanical) - the 350D in comparison has a sound that will rmeind you of a motor driven shutter!

Canon's XXXD has a split screen in the back while the XXD have what is shown in Fstop11's picture. The 1D have a main display, top info screen and a back info screen as well.

Good detail and little noise through out the ISO range

hows that advert go about spec savers?

there is a noticable drop in image quality and an increase in noise from ISO400 i wouldn't say that is good!

Epic Fail friend!

The Canon D30, first prosumer DSLR released in 2000, Nikon's first prosumer DSLR was released 2002, the D100.

when i first looked at getting a DSLR the choice was a 10D and D70, i am sure the 10D had a split screen on the back unlike the D70.

anyway that is bye the bye i found the menu system a nighmare on the canon as commonly used functions were burried compared to the nikon.

several times i have considered changing to canon but everytime i played with one the menu system put me off.

look at the black of the cd case and the camera there is a difference in colour!

look at the shadow under the TV and the TV itself you can clearly see the difference

Yes the D1 series which had 4/4.5fps if I'm not mistaken, NOT a prosumer/semi pro dslr body but a professional dslr.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 8 Apr 2008 at 23:21

D30 and 30D are two completely different cameras.

maybe someone made a typo but just incase not!

mrk · 8 Apr 2008 at 23:52

Ok here's a bit of a more varied ISO noise vs detail loss example on the 40D to to squash any debating!

WOW 3200 looks really bad mate. Try and overexpose 1/3 stop over and then use auto exposure in LR and you'll see a world of difference.

I just realised my bad! I saved them to jpeg first then opened them in PS then resaved them... lol.

Anyway, I've updated the above with just the 3200iso sample now as you get the idea of the other ISOs before 3200.
