Re: Anyone out there actually like "noisy" images.
Art is a purely personal matter, medium aside, if it invokes lasting emotions then it rocks
I still shoot film; Fuji Velvia 50, sometimes 100 in a pinch, Ilford PanF as well, for their ultra fine grain. But I also shoot with Ilford HP5 because I like it\'s \'grainy\' look.
Each film has it\'s own beauty and can be used to manage mood, context if you like. With digital we have much the same choices only now it\'s body, pixel size/quality and ISO based. For super fine, smooth tonality in images you can\'t beat the 5D or one of the 1D2 bodies; they produce IQ much like fine grain film.
As of late the 18mp\'s of the 1DX seems to nearly match the IQ of the older FF bodies. IMHO, if you look back at the older crop bodies 20D-40D, compare them to the 18mp crop bodies of today, at lower ISOs they have somewhat the same smooth tonality as the older 5D.
Today\'s higher MP bodies just kill at the higher ISOs and are of great benefit, but my eyes like the older big pixel look much more...but I like newer features; liveview, auto dust removal, as well
