[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 442711, member: 9240"] How well noise "cleans up" depends on the subject. You can experience similar levels of noise from the same camera at the same ISO level but have one subject with lots of details (say a bird with lots of feather detail) and another that has the same level of texture but not the detail. The bird's going to wind up looking either somewhat noisy or somewhat painted if the noise level is significant. You can still more than salvage most ISO 6400 shots from a D7100 provided you get a proper exposure, but if you're looking to pull information from the shadows then you're not going to be thrilled. Like I said, you've got a stop and a half with the D6xx camera over the D7100 on noise, particularly if you're looking for shadow detail. 6400 on the DX is about the same as 12800 on the FX. How much that bothers you depends on what you're shooting. [/QUOTE]
