Re: Which Canon for better quality at high iso ?

Hi,

I currently have a 40D and a 50D and have to say that I've been disappointed with the results on the 50D. To me it does seem to suffer from noise at higher ISOs. This is probably due to the higher pixel density.

If you're looking to spend less than £1000 on a Canon but want lower noise levels then I would stear clear of the current crop and search out a low use 5D mkI. It has a full frame sensor so you'll lose out on the crop factor advantage but, because its 12.8M pixels are less crammed the noise levels should be much better than the APS-C sensor models. You should be able to pick up one for about £800-£900. It's a lot for a second hand camera but if you look on eBay they always sell well, which speaks for itself.
