And DPReview has reported no benefits on the Canon 40D with or without LENR for 30 second exposures. Joe Reifer has some tests on the Canon 5D where he suggests you have a problems around 8 minutes or so. And that noise becomes a problem on older Nikons around 3 minutes. But the 5D is older technology now, superseded by lower noise sensors and Nikons too have better sensors. Joe Reifer has some comments about the Nikon D200 here.

Seeing something amazing like this is inspiring me to try something new with my camera. Thanks for highlighting Laura’s work.

Of course downsampling the 1DSII files is mereley an exercise -- why throw away pixels unless you're only going to make small prints? Noise analysis and camera comparisons are complex issues. Looking at long exposure night photographs from the D200 and 1DSII side by side at 100% view in Photoshop, my friend found the D200 files to be cleaner. He owns the 1DSII and was borrowing the D200 for the test. We're planning to compare the D200 with the Canon 5D at night when time allows.
