hope to be able to make a gathering this time

Bro.. ur gear scary lerr

@Ironman Your ISO samples... were they shot @RAW then coverted to JPEG?

I tested my ISO12800 on my 550D and noticed NO choma noise at all. But yours have tons of it

Ironman.. yes

I'm preparing to upload some RAW--->JPEG samples now as we speak. Unedited.No PP whatsoever.No Chroma noise at all,just "monotone" noise. NR disabled as well

Here's one picture just to show the comparsion first. The other sample I'm uploading and its taking damn slow

Literally I'm shocked..

550D @ISO12800



Samples here: Resized to 14/15mp because flickr won't allow more than 20mb per pic upload

EXIF data is all there in the flickr link I gave. If you want, I would be glad to personally give you all the samples you want. Just gimme a PM

And errr you're missing the point. Compare my sample pictures to Tony Stark's 5D Mark 2/D700. Why does his sample have so much chroma noise whereas mine is quite "clean' or only monotone noise? His noise is kinda "ugly" and blotchy/patchy or whatever it's called..

Anyway, I shot those indoors in not so gud lighting conditions

I'm suspecting the problem is caused by the software he's using to convert RAW to JPEG

Not too bad. I don't go more than ISO3200 usually..

I must be really MAD if I were to actually want to compare the ISO performance of my mere 550D against the Full Frame galore 5D Mark 2/ Nikon D700..

Read back my posts, I was just pointing out why is Tony Stark's ISO samples have so much chromatic noise but mine at the same ISO doesn't even have a hint of it? I gave several samples at different lighting conditions, some were pretty bad, some were better. But in the end, all samples didn't even exhibit any chroma noise, just luminance noise

I'm still perplexed to be honest

Here are the samples again.

How about Sigma 17-50 f/2.8?

f/4.5?

Really tak cukup bro. Using my kitlens I was literally shooting at speeds of like 1/25, 1/30 at some point. But still managed to get good shots.

f/2.8 is the way to go since you have the budget for it

I think it's like this. I'm not too sure also:

The effect of VR/IS turned on, you can notice it through the viewfinder whereas for Sony's body "stabilisation" , you can't see the "effect" of it, through the viewfinder

Therefore, when framing using IS/VR lenses, you get less "shake" when viewing through the viewfinder, so it's easier to compose when the frame is steady.

But for Sony's body IS case, you don't get to see the effect. So what you view through the viewfinder is a "shaky" image. So you'll find it harder to compose

Defeats the purpose of shooting RAW in the first place?

How much you sold it for?
