Tonight I finally had some down time.... at 2am. I decided to test out the ISO noise comparison between the Canon 5D Mark II and the newly arrived Canon 1D X. The differences are definitely noticeable and become even more striking as that ISO ramps up. I was surprised, and very pleased, so see such an improvement even at ISO 100 in terms of noise and even sharpness.
All photos were shot at about 2am (no street lights on this street)
85mm lens at f/2Linear Tone Curve
Camera Standard Profile
Lens Correction (minus Vignetting)
Un-cropped. (99% of the time my photos are not viewed at their highest resolution unless they are printed. So i might run another comparison with blowing the 1D X photos up to the 5D Mark II megapixel size before saving it for web, to get a more scientific side by side. However, this is a more practical side for typical photo use)
