Canon 20D Noise vs ISO

A recent query by a friend on the performance of the Canon 20D with varying ISOs prompted me to take a bunch of images at different ISOs. All these shots were taken using a tripod and with a Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro lens.

Click on these images to get 100% crops of actual unprocessed images.
The results are impressive. ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 are clearly noisy, but are still usable if getting the picture matters and you have no other option. Sometimes thats all that matters.

At ISO 100


At ISO 200


At ISO 400


At ISO 800


At ISO 1600


At ISO 3200

hey this is great!
I'm in to photography, and I love your pics! especially the foggy picture, that's neat.
 
I'd been meaning to do this same experiment, glad I found this page, thanks.
