I was just taking a look at the *ist D review on dpreview- they mentioned that the *ist D had slightly lower noise than the 10D up to ISO800, where the *ist D's noise levels got higher. As I vaguely understand it, CCDs are supposed to produce lower noise than CMOS sensors, so I'm curious to what causes this increase. Is this a sensor issue or is it a processing issue?
Thanks, Ryan
PS. One of the other threads is discussing hot pixels, so I just thought I might add another question in as well- how well does a CMOS sensor (like in the 300D, 10D) cope with hot pixels? Would there be a difference?
Interesting questions. Now, who will answer?
