Canon EOS-350D / Digital Rebel XT noise level comparison

 
To measure electronic noise levels we photographed the standard Gretag Macbeth ColorChecker at each of the camera's ISO settings. The crops are taken from the originals and presented here at 100%. To compare typical noise in skies and dark shadows the crops were taken from patches 3 and 24 respectively.

Canon's EOS-350D clearly delivers the lowest overall noise levels of the group, with 400 and even 800 ISO images being very clean. Nikon's D50 also performs well on the sky simulation, but reveals higher noise on the black patches.
