7D Noise Reduction

Here's an example of the 7D at iso 3200. I was a bit underexposed so I bumped the levels. It's now around the 4000 iso mark. I processed the image in Lightroom, sharpened, applied NR, exported to Photoshop where I interpolated it to a 16x24 print at 240 ppi. Ready for inkjet output. I have reduced the size here by 50% to show you a simulated view of what the print looks like. I've held the print side by side to the screen and it's pretty accurate.

Not bad for 4000iso on a 16x24 print. I can't think of that occurring too often in real life.
