Yes there is some noise, but still great shots. Have you tried using a slower shutter speed on some of your shots so as to lower the ISO ?I use my 70-300 with quite low shutter speeds and still get some good shots, BIF shots will be a different story of course.I have just looked through my birds shots with this lens, stationary birds I still got some good shots with shutter speeds as low as 1/160, with f5.6 and iso500 . I know at these low speeds I have to discard a lot of shots, but if I get a few keepers here and there I am happy. If the light is better I will use a faster shutter, but in low light the other option is higher iso and more noise.</blockquote>
