rubiton Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 PLease look at the image below - it was taken on ISO 1250 (speed 1/400th and F5)- it was still not quite dawn this morning but even at that ISO not too grainy/noise at all (it was darker than the image appears). Very impressed with the low light capabilities of the 40D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I think the 40D is much much better than the 400D, I am not real keen on anything over 400 with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezzyr Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I always like to see a 100% crop without any other image editing. People are generally very happy with their 40d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashanali Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 40D is brilliant workhorse. It's still outselling the 50D (50D is good too though). We've found we can push the 40D quite hard in low light situations and get great results with little to no noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubiton Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 I was only thinking today that the 40D is nearly 2 years old already and its still impressiing over what it can do. Another low light image below - well not darkness like the trackwork one but others were using a flash for pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubiton Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 The image below was taken with the 350D in the dull low light conditions of the shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlenheimBoy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The image below was taken with the 350D in the dull low light conditions of the shadow. Jenny, would you post a 100% crop from one of these shots please. Resizing to 350px long (as you've done) shows me nothing of the cameras low noise performance.

rubiton Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 HI BB The file sizes would be way too big to go on the forum but the full body shot of TT is only slightly cropped to remove the edge of the strapper - the head shot is only slightly cropped as is the gallop one. I have the 4x6 lab prints now and at that size there is no grain on the trackwork shot - not sure if I would go poster sized but 8x12 looks like it would be fine with that one. The other two low light images of TT - I would have no problem printing them as poster size images - I may get the close up head shot blown up to the 8x12 inch size for myself. There were a lot of photos taken and used ISO between 400 and 800 (there is no 500 or 640 on the 350D). The slow shutter speed needed and the tiny amount of movement blur in some pics is far more obvious than any grain. I couldn't overcome the lowlight and sun glare combined at the stalls now those pics were very yukky blurry and grainy (people were taking video files with point and shoots of the horse standing there - take a pic for gawds sake people it will turn out better!! and the fact myself and another photographer were not permitted to that particular part of the stalls by some over zealous security bloke didn t help yet later TV cameras didnt seem to have any problems with access).

BlenheimBoy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) HI BB The file sizes would be way too big to go on the forum but ... That's why I asked for a *crop* at 100% - not the *entire* full res shot. ETA: example: Edited May 6, 2009 by BlenheimBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
