I see some of your comments quite strong like KR, everyone is entitled to an epinion but make sure you make that clear. If YOU think is looks bad for your aplication that's fine, but for someone who doesn't know any better might take your word for it.

Hmm… I didn’t say it always looked gross, I said that it started to look gross at 800 ISO. There is a difference. I have taken many usable images with my XTi at 800, 1600 and even a few at 3200 (with the 400plus firmware “hack”). But anywhere there is light falloff or if the overall image is even slightly underexposed, I believe the XTi produces noticeably more noise than the Nikons DSLRs contemporary to the XTi, full frame cameras or any Nikon or Canon APS-C body made since. That is my opinion based on my experience shooting more than 50,000 frames with an XTi.

I don’t know what I may have written to have rubbed you the wrong way. Since you brought this up, I read through many of my posts on this forum. Nowhere could I find an example where I singled anyone out, called names, insulting or in any way personally attacked a forum member. My comments are about techniques, equipment (as above) and software – the kinds of things that are being discussed on this form all day long. As is also common on this forum, I sometimes have defended or clarified things I have written, but strictly limited to whatever topic is being kicked around, never in the form a personal attack.

On the other hand, twice now you have singled me out for personal criticism, comparing me to someone or something called KR. I don’t know who or what this is but I’m sure this was not meant as a compliment. I would ask that going forward you limit your comments directed toward me to photographic techniques, equipment or software.
