In some ways I'm wondering what I do wrong to not get such sensitivity on my 7D! Probably the biggest difference is in noise, I presume your camera would have less noise.

Full frame wide field is nice. Something I miss with my current camera.

Do you shoot wide open at f/2.8?
Thanks, Roger.

At night I always use the 14-24mm lens wide open - it is so good there is no real reason to stop it down.

I guess the main difference is about 1-stop sensitivity advantage due to the sensor size. I also think Nikkor 14-24 has some magic elements in it, and maybe a large 100mm front element helps with point light sources.

Cheers,
Alex
