Don't worry John, I'll try to break the Internet with my findings!

UPS delivery note says that it's due Thursday, sounds too good to be true. Might even make it in time for Heathcote on Saturday?

I have seen tests showing that the 6d has better noise control.

From what I have seen across the net, 12800 will be the practical limit of the Sony, but maybe even higher for NB, but that's still pretty fast. Until I get it cooled by JTW Astronomy that is, who will be releasing an ultra cooled version of the Sony in the future.

Its base ISO is 3700. That's SIX times faster than I use my 40D at. My 10 minute subs at heathcote will take just over a minute. My first test will be for 60 shots at that setting.

The beauty of the JTW deal is that it has a 30 day no questions asked return policy. So I'm only risking the price of postage if it turns out to be a dud.
