Ok, just out of curiosity:



1. Some NR at long exposure shots would affect your shooting - how?



2. Would it be visible on prints?



3. Did you actually see the NR effect on the images or you're just referring to the FT analysis of the noise distribution?

First of all, it is NOT about affecting so much, as it is about cheating.



Cheating? Yes, Cheating.



Just read the reviews, rating cameras that filter noise better, while you can achieve better results without the NR (doing NR yourself as needed).



1. How does long exposure NR affect shooting? By... for instance... getting rid of details? By... for instance... messing up photos of the night skies (stars and such)?



2. Of course NR is visible on prints. Take the desaturating NR from the Nikon D300 for instance. Or simply the removal of details, they do not appear magically back on prints.



3. From what camera?

If you look at the D7000 and K5 results on dpreview next to the 60D results, yes you clearly see an adverse effect from the NR.



It would help to just use one's eyes..
