Nice.

I really want to see similar tests on the D3 now, and see how the ISO 25600 fares.

I think it's safe to say that ISO 25600 is going to be unusable, much like ISO 1600 is on point and shoot cameras.
The Canon 1D MKIII has a pixel pitch not far off the Nikon D3 and this is what ISO 3200 & 6400 are like.

100% crops

ISO 3200

ISO 6400

ISO 6400 is just about useable; pushing that an extra 2 stops is either going to be mega noise or a water colour image after noise reduction has been applied in camera.

Just collected my 40D, no time to play with it as I'm off to the pub for the England match. I will say that the shutter sound is very different, going to take some getting use to after using the 20D and then the 30D.

That is appalling. You are not playing with a brand new model dslr to watch a crap team embarrass them selfs! I am quite stirred by this!

Many congratulations.

Has anyone else been suprised by how much the 40D has dropped in price since it was annouced, its down now from around £950 to £800. If it carries on like this by March next year its likely to be around the £650-£700 mark.

Yes its quite good value, one place for £809 with a 3 year warranty with acidental cover.

Then you have import for £650 delivered.

Very nice prices indeed.
