panos_voudouris Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 http://www.dpreview.com/articles/canoneos20d/default.asp Their tests show that the 20D has a 1 stop noise advantage over the 10D, despite the 2Mpixel increase! Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron c sunshine coast,qld,a Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 There are simple reasons for it-a higher percentage of light getting to the pixels and on-chip noise reduction <br>It all looks rather good.I'm just concerned about very slightly plastic looking images in some situations like the 1D mkII has. <br>All in all a very handy improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron c sunshine coast,qld,a Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hmm-a couple of mistakes from my typing as usual- <BR>I meant to say "a higher percentage of light getting to the pixels because of better microlenses" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_larson1 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Read the review closer: <p> <i>I personally wouldn't go as far as some have but would say that the EOS 20D has a one stop noise advantage over the EOS 10D <b>at higher sensitivities</b> (ie. EOS 20D ISO 1600 noise = EOS 10D ISO 800 noise).</i>(emphasis added)<p> <p> I am still digesting the review, I was confused by the use of P1 and P2 settings in the test and how they affect results. <p> The results, however, are consistent with the Luminous Landscape review.<p>Neither review talks about dynamic range. That implies there is no signficant difference in this important area. <p> All an all, however, it appears to be an impressive camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Nice review. I was impressed by the new functionalities like AF points and BW mode with filters. It would make it a nice and expensive previewer for my film cameras ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david enzel Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Does anyone know if the AF speed on the 20D is faster than on the 10D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_larson1 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I would suggest you read the reviews on DPreview and Luminous Landscape. Much more detail than what anyone here will give. But the bottom line: This ain't no 1D-II. But better than a 10D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_smirnoff Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 And it looks somewhat reminiscent of the EOS 30 (Elan 7) - the curves etc... Ain't it nice! Somehow it also looks somewhat like the D100 though, but in a good way: more compact and athletic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
