Too much noise in pictures
Sep 3, 2013 18:23:39 #
I am a real estate photographer. I use a canon 60D and a canon 10-22mm lens. there is too much noise in my pictures. Software can reduce it, but I am looking into switching cameras. What is the best camera that produces little or no noise?

What is your ISO setting? The 60D is a fine camera. I doubt if it's a matter of replacing the camera. Post a few photos and remember to check the "store original" box. :thumbup:

Noise is typically a product of too high an ISO setting. The 60D is usually pretty good to ISO 800, but falls off rapidly if going higher. Nikons D7100, D800 and D4 all are simply amazing clarity at high ISO's 3200 and even 6400.

Put your camera on a tripod with the ISO set to 100 and forget about investing in a new camera. The furnature doesn't move during exposure, does it? :-)

Before you go out and buy a new camera you might want to check the ISO settings in your 60D. I have the sneaky suspicion it is set to auto-iso (or something similar) and so the camera will automatically crank up the iso sensitivity (speak lots of noise) when you take pictures indoors. You might want to limit the setting to something like ISO 800 or less. The other thing you can do is spend some money on a nice external flash and a diffuser of some kind. I am a Nikon guy but I am sure a Canon shooter can give you some guidance there on what model to purchase there.

You shouldn't have any problem getting sharp pictures from the 60D. Without telling us what settings the camera is in when you shoot, there's no way we can answer your question. I'm willing to bet your iso is too high.

SS 1/30 with flash? Maybe to balance the flash with ambient light. DOF is a bit shallow with focus on the counter in front. Seems to be a bit of camera movement. Was a tripod used?

Moreover, I think the 60D is probably overkill for photos like this. I can get exceptional indoor shots with my point-and-shoot. Spending a lot of money on a "low ISO" camera to take real estate photos is a bit over the top based on what the market will pay for these.

This looks like motion blur to me. 1/30 sec I'm sure has something to do with it. Not sure about the noise! My Nikons are much cleaner at ISO 400
