30D high ISO exceeds my expectations!
It has been raining here in Kansas City so I decided to take some indoor pictures without flash using my 50mm f/1.8. I took some at 1600 ISO, not expecting much, and was very surprised! Here's a shot that is handheld at 1/50, f/2.0 (sorry Harry, no birds inside my apartment so I had to resort to a cat.. he'd eat the birds anyway)
100% crop:
Yes, the image has very visible noise (expected at this ISO) but it has had no PP, noise reduction, or sharpening - it was simply converted using DPP without sharpening applied. It would look great after a light noiseware application and some smart sharpening!
I know this is not news to any of you, I just found it quite fun and thought I'd share. My old G6 wouldn't look this good at ISO 400.
:clap

NIKON has their color, FujiFilm has their wide dynamic range, Olympus has their telephoto reach, Konica Minolta has their manual nobs, switches and buttons galore, but if you want low noise and high detail at high ISO's, you gotta go with Canon!!!
