How do you convert and process?
Because I can easily achieve essentially noise-free images well north of 800 ISO with my 40D by converting in Caprture One 4 or Raw Therapee and PPing in PSP X2 (with a dab of Neat Image if needed - which it usually isn\'t)
I\'ll bet you\'re using ACR/PS.
Care to provide some information on your image cleaning workflow?

Canon advertised the EOS 3 has having similar materials, construction and sealing as the 1N. I have the 1998 EOS 3 brochure and it states this and even has a picture of the EOS 3 covered with rain drops. And the brochure certainly heralds the EOS 3 as a pro body. So the EOS 3 had pro body construction via EOS 1/1N standards. However the 1V one upped it with magnesium body, even better seals and twin CPUs.

Not really. If I recall correctly, the prosumer EOS 3 was released with a better AF system, updated flash system and equivalent weathersealing versus the flagship pro camera at the time, the 1N. The EOS 3\'s build is not quite as rugged, it doesn\'t have a built-in diopter and only has 97% viewfinder coverage. The EOS 3s AF system and weathersealing were only superseded by the 1V couple of years later. A full-frame digital version of the EOS 3 has been on wish lists long before the 5D came out. I don\'t think we\'ll see one from Canon for at least two years if the 5D upgrade cycle holds.
Bear in mind that when the EOS 3 was released, the 1N was an aging body. The 1N was released in 94 and the 3 was released in 98. The 3 was sort of a dry-run for newer technologies that were eventually to be placed in the 1V which was released only about 1-1.5 years later. Comparing the 3 to the 1N is similar to comparing the 5D to the 1D. While the pro would probably more likely go with the 1 series body, the semi-pro body could just as easily be used in many situations (and is frequently used in pro situations).
