Sometimes noise is overstated. I recently went to a ceremony for my granddaughter who was being inducted into the National Honor Society. We were allowed to take photos but could not use a flash. The lighting was very poor so I had to use a very high ISO. If I crop the photos I can go up to an 8X10 and the printed photo looks great however if I do a 100% crop the grain is obvious. My point is that the 8X10 looks great and I’ll never print anything larger so the noise really doesn’t matter in this case.

Hi there! I've jotted this down about low light. A great gem of info. Thank you so much, and I'm glad your pix came out nicely!! And congrats to your granddaughter too. A wonderful accomplishment. :) S.

Hi there! Thank you very much! I sure appreciate your help! :)


As far as the guy complaining about Canon goes, there are plenty of complainers on this site. You did not make a mistake.

"Noise" in a photo is like static on a radio obscuring the clear sound. It obscures the clear image in the photo. It is caused by high ISO and is more prevalant in cameras with small sensors. Jerry gave you a good example of noise in his post above.

Hi again Realist101, I just noticed that your location is Indiana. I too am a fellow "Hoosier" from Northeast Indiana. Welcome to UHH!

Hi B! Thank you! I'll have to play with my camera and learn it. I almost went with Nikon...I had to just guess which to go with. I researched for months and couldn't tell one from the other. Shows what I know. I hope to go on a short drive soon to use it and see what it can do. :) Good to hear from you! S.


The truth is, the difference between Canon and Nikon is almost non-existent.

Very true.

The differences between cameras in each line-up is much bigger than the differences between comparable cameras from each brand. Starting with the Nikon D610, the Canon 6D is basically the same but the Nikon D3200 is very different.

I finally got my new camera...and see a post talking about 'noise'...just wondering what this means? I will guess, maybe it's clutter in a photo? The post said 'putting Canon on notice', and I'm worried now as mine is a Canon EOS T5. Compared to my old Minolta it's sure fancy. We'll see...Anyway, someone let me know what camera noise is? Thanks! :?:


Try putting your camera in one of the creative modes, and turn the ISO up to 6400. take a few pictures and then put them on your computer and take a look at them, you will see the noise

Don't worry about things you may "hear". You have a good camera that can, and will take beautiful photos. Learn to use it and enjoy. Do NOT fall into the trap of equipment envy, it will only drive you mad, and broke, and there will still always be a new "latest and greatest" something to sustain the madness. Don't forget the marketing folks work hard to promote addiction and have been as far back as I remember.

;-) Hi there! I think this is great advice...I got the best camera I could afford, and really look forward to learning to use it. I've snapped a few pix and compared to an old Minolta I have, it's a dream...I find all the conversations about noise, and ISO's etc...helpful and interesting as I've never had any classes or such for photography. I'm an old school person...artist wannabe etc...lol! Thanks for the note! S.

Hi there! I love your little dog. I had a beetle dog as a child...we now have a choc. Lab...and many in between over the years. We're in Laf. near Purdue/ looking to move away from all the commotion. You're up in the Ft. Wayne area then? North of Indianapolis is like Siberia~ Lol~ :)
