Re: visualized read noise for TONS of different cameras
You can see Nikon uses non-exmor for their action/speed/lowlight camera since it gets much better shadows at high iso than the exmor stuff.
But you can see that with the new generation they really did go to a new generation since they also fixed up non-exmor shadows this time while Canon is clearly STILL using old generation sensor fab and didn\'t put in to update the way Nikon did since they didnt improve at all at low iso and not as much at high iso.
So Nikon\'s own sensors are quite an all around balance, the best at high iso and yet pretty good at low iso (if not quite a match for Sony Exmor).
Talking strictly Canon vs Canon, they did fix up the high iso read noise on the 5D3 vs 5D2 it seems, the super deep tone read noise does look much better than for the 5D2, so the very depths of the darkest parts of high iso images should be a lot nicer on 5D3 than 5D2, what the mid-tone SNR difference will be is not known though).
