I'm not going to say it's not important, but what I'm saying is that you're probably splitting hairs as to differences between the newer Canon and Nikon.

As I said, I shoot quite a few concerts and it's all about high ISO, low light shooting. I've not needed to run images through noise reduction programs since having moved to the D200 body. I've never had an image rejected due to noise by a client and I've never been let down by the amount of noise in an image.

Want to get cleaner...fantastic... I'm all for it. As I said...give me a working 1600 and 3200 ISO and I'm a very very happy camper. Give me the 15 cross type AF sensors that work effectively both individually and in group focus modes with respect to focus lock and tracking and I'm going to be singing the Halelujia chorus with the new body.

I'm expecting the 3's to be cleaner than the 2's and if so, I would expect that most would be pleased with the results. The question becomes how strong the filtering is in that how much detail is lost to noise reduction algorithms in the camera software.
