Re: Baby B Cam for F3
 

That was my take on it...what's behind the sensor adds noise somehow (although I thought A/D happened on the sensor?)

Either way, I believe them.

Thanks guys. If that translates into an 18db image that has the same noise as an EX1/3, it means I don't need this camera. I already have an EX3.

Would still love to have a F3 though. :)

From what I understand, the 54b for the EX3 is around 320 (360?) ISO. The FS100 will have the same 54db at 800 ISO. Big difference. The signal should be a lot cleaner on the FS100.

Yea but what you are saying is that because it's more sensitive you won't need to have the gain as high, thus it will be lower noise than an EX camera.

Not for where I'll be using it. Out at the sand dunes at night it is ink black with only campfires and headlights to illuminate the night. I'll be at 18db even with this camera. So it would be brighter than the EX, but just as much noise if I understand it right.

Not good enough to buy a whole new camera when I'm already happy with the EX. Now the F3 on the other hand, I'd love one, just can't afford it.

Well, then you save about $6,000.

Looks like it huh? I look forward to direct comparisons either way.
