Jens there are physical limits WRT noise minimization and we are nearly there on the physical side, there will be new methods of filtration developed I'm sure but don't expect too much more from sensors. For a very concise description of why this is see (link supplied by Herb Chong): http://white.stanford.edu/~brian/papers/ise/CMOSRoadmap-2005-SPIE.pdf And if you would like to see comparison images from most of the current cameras at high ISO see: http://digitalcamera.impress.co.jp/06_02/auth/toku1/index_iso.htm Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
