AFAIK the D90 and the K-X use the Sony A500 sensor. Or did the K-X still use the Samsung?
Hmm, but for this, I think the processing part makes a difference even though sensors might be the same

Not as much as you may think. Especially if you shoot RAW.
Hi everyone. these are the photos: i know the composition is not good at all but its purpose is to show the noise. peace. (and that's why i didnt consider a FF in the first place.)
^1/40, f/1.8, +0.7, iso 3200.
sorry for the huge pictures.
If this is the case then you have to find a way to work around. Balancing flash and ambient light, using flash gel and those stuff... they'd help in some ways. But changing to an another aps-c body, i honestly don't think it'd help much.
Btw, have you looked at those 2nd hand 5D mkI? Shouldn't cost too much these days and it blows all aps-c bodies away, as long as high ISO performance is concerned.
Have you considered using prime lens? And using flash with gel. Changing to another camera may not give you what you want cos most of them have very similiar specification.
Alternatively you can consider Fuji Finepix F70EXR which can take low light shots with relative ease.
The noise looks pretty ok to me. I would suggest that you get a noise removal software instead of getting another cam.
TS, if you like to view the pic at this size, it's inevitable you spot noise...but in your photos, I think the noise is acceptable and no need to nit pick over it...:dunno:
why not concentrate on the details rather than noise?

Nikon D700 out of the question?
For some of your pics, I find the noise quite acceptable. And with a NR software like noise ninja, you can reduce the noise drastically. And on top of that, shoot in RAW and do PP. If you still cannot live with that, and must shoot in ambient light, FF is the only way to go. It has nothing to do with whether you are a pro or not. But it depends on what you can or cannot live with.
since when must have skill to justify FF?
I thought it was only whether or not one had enough $$ ?
like dat I'll never be able to get FF, coz no skill.... :bsmilie:
This picture looks like there is sufficient ambient lighting.
1/40, f/1.8, ISO3200? Sounds pretty extreme. Unless the real situation was much darker...:think:
If you are going to shoot another event, why don't you rent a FF-body camera, and get a similar fast lens for both your Sony and the rented body. Also, rent a flash at the same time for your Sony and see if it is worth getting it full-time. Then compare if you are happy with the outcome.
Only then will you know if you really need a new body or not.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers!
if it is not obvious, then it is still a problem? :dunno:
the noise isn't obvious but the picture is very grainy, I feel.
I think I now know what you need...it's either Nikon D3x or Canon 1D Mk IV.

No, he would need a D3S, not the X. The D3X uses the same sensor as the Sony A900, and is not a high ISO body.
It's just what I felt lah... I ain't a professional anw...
there are loads of non-professionals using both cameras or their earlier incarnations. :angel:
K-X is better than K-7 on high iso noise handling...
