Re: Sl2 improved in low light high iso over sl1?

According to Ken Rockwell:

High ISO Performance

Performance top

High ISO performance is superb; as good as much more expensive cameras. While the SL2 "only" goes up to ISO 51,200, it still looks quite usable at that crazy speed. While other APS-C cameras might go higher, they just look worse at those speeds. The differences are more marketing than actual performance differences.

He also gives you photo's to compare.

I am on the other hand quiet happy with my sl 1 in lowlight. The limiting factor for me is not the sensor but more the ability to focus. Manual focus does not work that great and on autofocus it is sometimes difficult to focus.

But I get far better results than with the panasonic fz 1000. What also helps is if you underexpose your picture with one stop. This gives a more natural picture and allows you to use longer shutter times.
