Word is they are probably going to work on the noise. Go here and download the FREE plug in - it's pretty amazing... http://www.bardill.net/projects/photoshop/noise-reduction/ B.

Might a camera designer choose to implement in-camera software noise reduction at the expense of resolution and other factors ? If that is the case, I would rather perform off-camera noise reduction myself. B.D., what noise reduction plug-ins have you played with ? - - Phong B. D.
