Adrian, thank you for posting these. Basically they confirm my own findings. While I too can provoke the criss-cross noise pattern by extreme pushing of the shadows, it will not exactly keep me awake at night... But I agree with Richard that 5D2 noise at base ISO is (a little) higher than 1DsIII and it can call unwarranted attention to itself in the shape of the criss-cross pattern.
Another claim made by Canon for the 5D2 is low noise at higher ISO settings.
So I redeveloped ISO 1600 shots in the same manner and from the same series as above to compare the 5D2 and the 1DsIII.
No noise reduction, no sharpening, same settings in C1.
First 1DsIII then 5D2.
seems like 1dsmkii has a bit more DR at lowest ISOs and 5dmkii has more at the higher isos
i did notice that the 5dmkii had really low read noise at mid and higher isos but a little bit maybe 25-30% worse per pixel than a 40D at iso 100.
