I am wondering how is Canon 40D's high iso performance, below is a photo taken at night with Canon 40D iso1600.

New Canon 40D

Canon 40D Sample Image (17mm 0.3sec F4 ISO 1600)

Exif information of the sample photo

The sample photo is cropped at 100%. No post processing, no resizing. Resolution of each cropped photo varies.

Process:

1. Open in Adobe Photoshop CS3

2. Enlarge sample photo to 100%

3. Crop sections accordingly

4. Watermark

5. Flatten Image

5. Save as JPEG.

Sample Photo Crop 1

Sample Photo Crop 2

Sample Photo Crop 3

Sample Photo Crop 4

The sample photo is only a reference. I think that Canon 40D's ISO1600 performance is very good, judging from the above photo alone. But it maybe only accurate when side-by-side comparison is being done with other model like Nikon D300 and Canon 30D.
