p.1 #1 · R5 II noise levels in low lit venues vs R3
Hello colleagues
I want to ask about noise.
I have currently 1dx iii and r3 and thought to add r5 ii. i'm shooting sometimes in low/medium lit venues, but because of 1/1000 -1/1250, i need to go to high iso's, sometimes it's 3200 and sometimes it's 6400, usually in that range. Very rarely i go to 8000 or 10000 iso.
So how r5 II behaves, is grain is high? how it compares when looking at both r3 and r5 ii files at full res and at resized to 1920?

I can't speak to the R5 II, but I have R3 bodies and shoot at ISO8000 ALL the time for sports action. Never once have I had a concern or single complaint about noise. And I use zero NR on the images. The R3 is incredible at handling high ISO.
I tried the RF200-800/f6.3-9 lens on an R3 at a high school football game last fall just to see how it would work. I cranked the ISO up to 32000 and the images were crazy clean. Shot JPEG, too, but I was (am always) careful to nail exposure in camera. I never rely on adjusting exposure in post. Seriously though, IMO, ISO6400 is what ISO1600 use to be years ago.
I don't have image upload, but any of my nighttime football games and all of my Big 12 basketball images on my IG page (@sds4kst8) were shot at ISO8000 with zero NR applied.
