Nice noise (noise related, don't be noisy)

Going from a 350D to a D70 I thought I'd be experiencing more noise but to be honest with you I am experiencing less!

These are straight form the cam, NEFs jpegged in ACR and no sharpening/NR done in anything
iso200/400/800/1600

Well, so far so good. Looks liek it's going to be a sunset that's worth capturing in a mo!

And I made it to the wrong side of town :/ lmao, maybe tomorrow then

There's a wealth of options to choose from now in this syste so I will have to get used to them all in due time

Also remember in between the normal iso range you have 250/320/500/640/1000/1250 etc so there is loads of scope to fine tune what you shoot and how much noise you would like.

More than with Canon? What options are you talking about?

There is a lot to go through but some of the more key ones include more otpions to customise image parameters (several tone/colour/hue optionsetc as well as some other image settings, centre weighted meter diameter control, various monitor/meter timing options, image comments, loads on AE/AF bracket control and fine tuning which I'm trying to grasp at the mo, rather know what they all do that leave it on "default" - There is more too. I kinda wish I had the 350D where i could just whack on parameter 2, whack on M, whack on a lens and frame and shoot

Edit*

On the ISO1600/1000 ones can anyone else see a kind of weird faint horizontal band? it's like a band of noice perhaps? only visible just about above 1000iso to my eyes.

After careful consideration and a more extended play with the 30D I must admit it is a very nice tool :eek:

i think it's the menacing 2.5" lcd where the iso3200 shots are shown that steals it.

I'm concerned with the d70s horizontal band at above iso1000 though and *** store only had one body in so I may just return it!

this is so silly now heh

Well, I'm not too worried about the noise, it's well controlled as you can see from the first link of samples I did! - theonly worry is the banding at above 1000iso - it seems everytime i get a new "toy" it has an issue, when I first bought the 300D (first dslr) 2 years ago I had it replaced 3 times and when the 3rd ones shutter died canon took ages fixing it and left a finger mark on the mirror!! and now the d70s has strange band on high iso shots...bah!

I just prefer more the nikon bodies !
