EOS350D to EOS 100D

[WoZZeR]

Hi chaps

I currently have an EOS 350D which I bought new, Santa bought it the EF 75mm to 300mm a couple of years ago and I still love the camera and use it regularly.

Santa has offered to upgrade said camera to an EOS 100D, is it a worthwhile upgrade.

I have tried an EOS 100D in the local photography shop and found it intuitive to use, the manual shutter speed and aperture settings in particular.

My concerns are noise, particularly low light noise, my partner has a Sony HX50 which gives cracking photos but seems to struggle a little with noise in Auto when it uses a high ISO rating. I notice the Canon has a similarly high ISO rating, any experiences with noise?

Cheers

Warren

Cheers for the replies, I assumed the higher pixel count on the same sized sensor would increase noise, I read an interesting article on it somewhere.

Body size isn't an issue, I like its compact size for carting about with stock lens and I tend to use my Manfrotto with the telephoto. A recent monopod has proved useful too.

I may take my Netbook, 350D, favourite lens etc into the local shop and see if they will let me compare the results.

I am patiently waiting for Canon to release a £1000 full frame......

As for Nikon, hmmm, I have never once regretted buying the 350D, it really was a very good camera for its price so shall stick with them.

Cheers for the reasoned reply.

That is an interesting site (dxomark). it has given me a slightly retentive insight into the differences, tonal range is much better on the newer sensor, strangely at the white end of the spectrum.

So worth a punt or wait for newer sensor releases?
