A lot of people are interested in high ISO performance of the new 40D. I shot a few ISO1600 shots today. You can see them below. All these shots were processed straight from RAW file without any adjustmetn in Digital Photo Professional(DPP). The TIF files convert with DPP were then exported to Photoshop CS3. Only resizing and slight sharpening were done in Photoshop. No other image adjustment were made.
You can see the Canon EOS 40D full review article here.

Thank you Roland, nice pictures. Are these with Noise reduction (NR) on in the camera (my guess is the setting will be applied by DPP)? I have an 5D (excellent) and an extra 400D which i plan to maybe upgrade. b.r. kalle
Hi Kalle,
No, I did not turn NR on in the camera. No noise reduction was applied at any stage during RAW conversion and post-processing.
Roland
They look very good to me.
Thanks for taking the time to do these tests.
