5D Canon is a noisey camera

Who said the 5D from Canon was a low noise camera?
Certainly when you combine moderately high (for a Canon DSLR) ISO 800
and low light, the camera doesn't like it one Iota. Easy to fool
autofocus too! Pictures, EXIF data and more on the subject at:

A sideline:
I love his opinion about the Lumix FZ20... In low contrast situations
this Leica Elmarit zoom paired with Panasonic's IS is just stunning.
And the package comes at a fraction of a price, and at a fraction of
the weight. We have always one of the Lumix'es in our travel bag.
I just wish Panasonic would provide less noisy sensor with more
dynamic range, instead of chasing more "megapixes," like everybody
else does... It is so frustrating.

Of course when I was shooting film I would not dream of shooting iso
800.

Better to shoot at 800 and get the image than not shoot at all.
