[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 218077, member: 9240"] It truly is, Marcel. Just to give you an idea of what kind of "noise" I was dealing with at ISO 6400, here are three copies of a close crop for one of the photos above. Copy 1: Straight out of the camera into Lightroom, no adjustments. Slightly underexposed (on purpose). [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]59072._xfImport[/ATTACH] Copy 2: Same as above but with a click of the "Auto" exposure adjustment. Noise is now evident, but not horrible given the ISO level. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]59073._xfImport[/ATTACH] Copy 3: Copy 2 with the Lightroom Noise Reduction only (slider moved from 0 to 41), no other adjustments or sharpening. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]59074._xfImport[/ATTACH] As you can see, you don't [I]need[/I] a lot of NR software to make a more than usable image (I prefer Nik Dfine's ability to control based on color instead of just global NR reduction). I could have easily done all of my work in Lightroom and been more than OK if I needed to. It's a great low light camera. Heck, it's just a great camera. [/QUOTE]
