Pic of daughters high school play - 5dIII noise test

My daughter was the art director of the play so no pics of her yet.

I am thinking the noise level is very acceptable, etc. Interested in others thoughts?

ISO 1600, 2.8 70-200 at 200 - I think the shutter was 160?

I wouldn't be afraid of even higher ISO on a 5D3. ISO 1600 is acceptable on my 7D, and quite good on the 1Ds2. I get significantly less noise using ACR / Elements 10 than with DPP, so if you're using DPP (as flickr suggests you are) you might consider a switch.

This shot is ISO 12800 on the 1D X. Anecdotal reports and Bryan's noise comparison suggest that the 1D X may have close to a 1-stop advantage over the 5DIII at high ISO settings, but I'd say you could push up to ISO 6400.

Agree that DPP isn't the best at handling noise - I find DxO Optics Pro to do a much better job of NR with detail retention, and also to have the best available lens corrections. 1D X support from DxO is coming this month.

I think the noise looks very acceptable to me, and your settings look good too!

However, the image could benefit from some mild noise reduction software.

Thanks - was wanting to double check my look at it.

CS6 noise reduction better/worse than DPP. I have that on the machine as well. I usually don't go to CS6 unless I am going to do significant fiddling

I have LR 4.1 and it does much better than DPP for noise. I would think CS6 would do better as well.
