visuals - 2.5 stops (rounds to 3 after sharpening harmonized) - your math formula is off

since i shot 40d for 5 years and 5dc for last three years I have some experience

the 40d is junk at iso 3200 - see colored blocks at link. It tops out at iso1600 for usability imo

http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-50D-Digital-SLR-Camera-Review.aspx

my first wedding with 5dc - actually the reason I got the 5dc -- I was put in back of candelight church -- a Christmas Eve Service -- no flash allowed ceremony -- and only way to get close was 70-200 f2.8L @ F2.8, 200mm, ss 1/80, on pod - iso 3200 - 2 stops better high iso noise.

Well, by the numbers, the 5Dc has only 1 stop better noise performance over the 40D.

one and a half stops by the visuals

now that I have 60d and T4i, there is only 1 stop differential with my 5dc - reason I sold 40d

The 60D and T4i, again, by the numbers, are just a bit better than the 40D.

one stop by the visuals

between a 40d and a 5d3/6d -- 3 stop differential -- your calculation doesn't reflect visuals I've studied for years.

Again, by the numbers, the 6D would have a 2 stop improvement, as I noted here -- and, yes, I did see your reply, but I stand by my statement, although I do allow for the fact that FF resolves more detail, and that additional detail can be traded for less noise via NR (noise reduction), so that may result in the three stops you are talking about.

2 and a half stops by the visuals.  your calculation and math formula is off.  

Wedding photographers go into no flash allowed ceremonies with 5d3/6d and use iso 10,800. No way would 40d keep up. my 60d can get iso6400 if I'm in a jam though using ETTR

The examples:

1) No Flash Low Light Ceremonies

2) Profound shallow dof

Except I've shot weddings, and some of my best pics have had horrid IQ. However, many who see my prints do comment (favorably -- very favorably -- in fact, it's always a point of discussion) on my use of ultra shallow DOF. But they do so equally with shots taken with a 20D as with a 5D on that point.

not if you took noisy blurry ceremony photos in a ceremony that did not allow flash with your 200 as I described the no flash ceremony
