I opened them both with the Adobe Camera Raw, but for the Leica one, I adjusted up the noise reduction and luminance smoothing sliders. The Canon camera has a much more capable processor and a lot of this is done in camera. I cropped the files to show the dark shadow under the furnace. I also down sized the Leica crop, so it was about the same width as the Canon file. B.D. is correct that the Canon has much less noise, as shown by the examples below. Look at the tool marks on the brass fitting. The Leica seems to have the edge here. http://www.robsteve.com/DMR/CanLeica1600.jpg Isn't the over all quality of the finished print more important than the noise we can see on our monitors? With people and and within the limits of the DMR, I think the DMR makes the better print. I have a 5x7 print of my son from the 1600 iso shot and it looks no different than a print from 400 speed film.
