for 5d classic owners: show me your 1600 and 3200 iso photos

Tiny-samples but look *very good* to me...

I almost had a D700 for my birthday last february. I phoned my dad up on the morning he was going to buy it for me and told him that I wasn't entirely sure about it, and to leave it.

...Don't know but... I could swear I read you called your wife or husband, instead...

I'm glad I've stuck with Canon as I am very pleasantly suprised by my 5D at higher isos, however I still feel that the ultimate high iso performance goes to the D700...It's just that my 5D gets an awful lot closer than I could have imagined!!

...You can rest assured, though, and even write on a little yellow sticky that you can match and/or surpass the D700 (or D3) output, guaranteed... and all within Canon's current lineup of equipment... maybe not with the 5D, but you certainly can do it.

Anyway I played around with pushing the 3200 shot again, and seem to have come much closer to not blowing out the whites.

iso 100

iso 6400.

Much better, indeed.

Suggestion: increase saturation on-board or in your raw converter by one notch (seems like you maybe using RIT/ZB by the noise-spectra/signature I see), and then proceed with noise reduction processing exactly as you would for your less-saturated output.

You will get better color response/saturation, almost identical noise-reduction performance.

Watch for unwanted color casts (magenta's, purple or green-like).

Cheers,

Wait, what? I'm fairly sure I'm not married yet...I'm only 18! :P It was definately my dad that I phoned. >_> Lol, I haven't edited that word, so I don't know. :P

I was shooting neutral jpegs as I thought they would be best for processing. (I'm not at my main PC where I have my raw converter, so I have to shoot jpeg atm.)

Just one little question...

I'm not sure of the relevence of this question, but my 18th birthday was in February, like I said in this post around Christmas last year: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=619143.

Also, I don't really know why you tried to spotlight me saying:

My perception hasn't changed, I said this a little while back,

I tried the D700 in the shop at 6400 and the quality is radiculous even at a 100% crop.

The D700 is an incredible high iso beast!

Which is very true, it looked better than iso1600 on my 40D.

I also said,

I'm slightly worried by my virtually D700 high iso performance on a 5D. :P

Which is also true, I could'nt have imagined pushed iso 6400 and 12800 on the 5D looking so great, (seeing as I was just using jpegs and it was my first attempt.)

Just to clarify, it seems that in terms of high iso, I beleive it goes,

D700>5DmkII>>5D

But I thought it was

D700>5DmkII>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>5D.

I beleive the thing that has really improved the D700 and 5DmkII in terms of high iso performance is clever on board noise reduction, and maybe not so much has changed in terms of sensor technology as Canon would want people to beleive (I know Nikon turning to CMOS sensors obviously helped them). The fact that the 5D can hold its own (maybe alsmost match) the high iso performance of the D700 and 5DmkII wih the right NR (and my results were great with Neat Image) is surely good news for every 5D user on this forum.

5D, 70-200 F/4L

Absolutely no NR
ISO 3200

Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

All of these are at ISO1600, Nuetral, no NR, nothing done with them other than opened in ACR, selected Nuetral, passed on to PS, downsized, saved as JPG.

ISO1600 is certainly useable but proper exposure is everything. These were not overexposed (nothing blown out) but if you must err, err on the side of overexposure

1st and 4rd shot were with the 28-75, the others, 70-200

ISO 1600:

Nice but I thought this was a thread about the 5D.

Yeah, it is...and that pic was taken wtih a 5D back in 2006 when I had a 5D.

@bohdank:
Great images. Especially the guitarist and the last two.

I trust... but always verfiy...

...Just one question: you mentioned you were quickly testing with .JPGs, and I just would like to know what function/process did you use to push them 1.00ec exactly, between ISO3200ec to ISo25600ec.

The reason I am asking you is because I would sincerely appreciate any input on how to reliably push them, independently of the on-board TRC curve used to generate the .JPG.

Then, my apologies.

Great site thanks for the link, seems the 1dsIII kicks the 5d2's butt
