I am wondering how is Canon 40D’s high iso performance, below is a photo taken at night with Canon 40D iso1600.

Exif information of the sample photo

 

The sample photo is cropped at 100%. No post processing, no resizing. Resolution of each cropped photo varies.

Process:
1. Open in Adobe Photoshop CS3
2. Enlarge sample photo to 100%
3. Crop sections accordingly
4. Watermark
5. Flatten Image
6. Save as JPEG.

The sample photo is only a reference. I think that Canon 40D’s ISO1600 performance is very good, judging from the above photo alone. But it maybe only accurate when side-by-side comparison is being done with other model like Nikon D300 and Canon 30D.

This is currently one of the most affordable Super-Telephoto lens by Nikon. If this lens was announced 8 years ago, I will not pay any attention at all because at then DSLRs’ ISO1600 was mostly a marketing strategy and was only good for Black and White prints. These days, for amateur photographers, f5.6 coupled with any midrange DSLRs’ ISO3200 or even ISO6400, one will be able to get a decent shutter speed for wildlife or sports photography.

This is the official sample photos from Nikon, as usual, cropped into 100% for better viewing.
Patience on its loading time.

A good catch using one of my favourite wide-angle lens the AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED. I was at actually expecting some sports footage, but this will do – for now.
