In fact I did a lot of research before buying the 20D both reading
reviews and looking at photos from it and other DSLR on Pbase.com

The my question was do you have a link to one of these waxy photos, it
was not meant to say they don't exist but rather so I can tell what
you are referring to.

IMHO it is caused by the lack of sharpening (really), it may sound odd
but a bit of sharpening will raise the number of bright blue channel
pixels. I just tried it on the JPEG crop and it changed a lot.

But you've misunderstood Stacey's point: more noise makes a better looking,
higher dynamic range image than those plasticy low-noise images that Canon
produces. ROFL.

That sounds off. Canon = 15 x 22.5 = 337.5 vs Oly = 13 x 17.3 = 224.9 =? Oly
= 67% of the Canon. Although the _effective_ area of the pixel also depends
on the microlenses.

Right. "As good as medium format". Not.

Ever shot with any other dSLR?

This is just my opinion of the images I got from that camera and of course
is just my -subjective- opinion. I tried several different dSLR's and just
didn't care for the look from the 10D I used, YMMV. Some people rate
"perfection" on noise looking at 100% crops, that's not my main objective.

I take part in a photography group where people share their photos. The
group ranges from point'n'shoot digital to large format film, hobbyists
to professionals. Sometimes photos are harmed by poor equipment but
most of the quality depends the person using it. I haven't seen any
problems with any Canon or Nikon DSLR.

And the canonites roll in...

Why would I have bought a E300 if I could have bought either one ( I owned
no lenses), used a 10D for a week and wasn't impressed enough to go buy
one?

I know you and the other canon fanatics judge a camera by noise graphs at
1600 ISO, looking at 200% crops and what "pros" say you should be using ,
I looked at the end results in print and =personally= liked the results
from the olympus better. The canon images just look "waxy" to me. YMMV.

Don't take this personally, again have you tried shooting with the other
dSLR's to see what they produce "look" wise or just buy a canon because
everyone else does? I just didn't care for the "look" of the canon 10D test
images I shot. If you are happy, don't sweat it. I did buy a canon printer
even though "everyone" uses Epson too.

David and Rafe love to bash the camera I chose and have never even seen one
much less shot with one so I could care less what they think! I know I
love the images I'm getting from mine and I DID shoot with the other
options myself to compare first. Maybe if ISO 800+ noise was my main
criteria for "perfection" I would have chosen something else?

(For the sake of discussion, I'll use "noise" defined as

noise : randomly generated colored speckles
generated by digital cameras
)

ISO 100 in low light also creates the same noise. Why is that?

I had a 1D Mark II for 2 days and the images had less noise than the
20D. Does the 1Ds Mark II have less noise than the 1D Mark II?

How can there be "per pixel" noise, when the noise is randomly
distributed around a pixel that is the correct color?

This seems backwards. It's more like the sensor elements have an
accuracy tolerance that varies widely from pixel to pixel. (Design
and manufacturing compromises?)

Then there is the firmware imposed noise dictated by marketing
departments in order to maintain wide price gap between the entry
level (300D/20D) and professional (1D(s) Mark II) cameras and backs.

Speaking of purposely crippling the firmware, there is NO technical
roadblock keeping zero chrominance sub-sampling and near-lossless
quality level jpegs out of digital cameras. (Corporate greed is the
motivating factor. ;^)

If you didn't spend half your time on this NG
defending your choice of DSLR, I'd never have
taken notice, Stacey.

I'm not that much of a gearhead myself.

I'm a long time Nikon (film) SLR user myself,
but my digicams are Canon. Brand loyalty
means squat to me.

I worked for a year with a Canon G2 before
deciding to go with the 10D.

My main objection to your argument is your
assumption that the rest of us choose our
gear out of ignorance or peer pressure.

"Nice" as in "plenty visible for the sake of discussion".

That was shot in low ISO but low light and exaggerated with curves in
PS. 400% so that it is not a subjective squinty confusion but very clear
exactly what the noise looks like.

It'd be nice if no one posted truly either pro or con any brand, but
that ain't going to happen. There are some who can discuss pro's and
cons of cameras, including the ones they are heavily invested in, both $
and psychically, without becoming emotional, or irrational, or,
particularly since this is usenet, insulting, and there are those of us
who can't.

It may be that the trick is to not fall into the various traps that exist.

I hope you won't diminish your posting, as you have a lot to say.

From my experience with microdensitometry, the main noise component might be called grain noise, analogous to photon noise.
Think of the microphotometer as if it were counting silver grains.

Given the amount of bashing people give this camera (and any non-canon
camera) which I found from personal testing of several dSLR's to work MUCH
better than what people like yourself, who have never seen one, say you're
surprised? What if I posted than a 10D has so much noise it's unusable if I
had never even held on in my hands? You wouldn't coment? Or that the AF
doesn't work right etc etc.

You and David have made a BUNCH of posts about this camera system, so have
you used one yourself? Or do you judge image quality looking at graphs and
spec sheets? Here's something you might try, actually look at the results
you get from each one before you decide?

More like you buy a camera from what someone else thinks of it.

I post I didn't care for the look of the images I got from a 10D and get
ATTACKED for having a subjective opinion? For saying there is more to image
"quality" that straight from the camera noise control? And instead of
actually discussing this, you and David once again turn to personal
insults. Why am I not surprised?

So what do the different ones look like at normal viewing like downsampled
to viewable size or upsampled for printing? If you can't see it there, who
cares?

Here's D70 noise at ISO 1600 reduced for web and still very visible:

I guess I need a faster lens 'cause I'm constantly struggling to capture
low light images.

My understanding is that I could shoot at f/8 or 11 in low light with a
fast lens.

Well, patience in the field isn't my strong point, that would be more
like inquisitiveness. I do have patience to sort through a billion pics
later though. We each have our personal approaches. I'm pretty sure with
a fast image stabilized lens I'd be able to do a lot more of what I like
to do with better results.

You should be able to do this with a slow lens as well unless it is a poor
quality one. F8 is F8 no matter if the lens is a F5.6 max lens or a f2.8
max lens.

Am I understanding this wrong? A fast lens should shoot at a faster
speed at the same f-stop as a slow lens as I understand. It's not just
that it's capable of going to a lower f-stop number. Please clarify if
I'm mistaken.

Well, we all have our personalities. For me spending time in the field
fiddling with a tripod would drive me nuts, once I settle down on the

The only thing that makes a fast lens a fast lens is that it can go to
a lower f number. Lower f number = more light = faster shutter speed =
less motion blur

...and less DOF, which isn't always useful.

Noise is purely a factor of ISO & shutter duration, so a faster lens
only helps when it's being used wide open (wider than a slow lens is
capable of), which artistically, may not be the best choice.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The term "fast lens", as I understand it, derives from the fact that all
other things being equal, a lens with a larger aperture (lower f-stop)
will allow a faster shutter speed, but only at that aperture.

Technically, this is true, but a lower f-stop may increase the
signal-to-noise ratio, and a larger one may increase it, at any given
ISO and shutter speed.

Landscapes much less of a DOF problem than macros.
If you get in the habit of pre-focusing then most
marginal DOF focus problems go away. Also, the
trick of auto-focusing on an object in the middle
of the focus target field and switching to manual
works well with me.

One of the more useful links that have been posted here.

Try a compromise, and don't settle for a cheaper smaller head, or a
non-rotating lock monopod. Find and try a Gitzo mono pod with a
NOVOFLEX CLASSICBALL 5 BallHead. It will serve as an "almost" tripod,
won't slow you down, can be used without touching the ground (it acts
like a stabilizer) and will actually save you time composing shots.
If you find a better, smoother, easier to use and more functional ball
head let me know... and do NOT settle for a small jerky light weight
head.

(there are a couple other heads in this class, but it's the only one I
could get my hands on. gonna get one for my gitzo explorer tripod,
too, so I can keep them tightly and permanently mounted. don't forget
quality quick releases and spare camera/lens side adaptors. ;^)
