It might help to say which app you're using when denoising - a better chance of users of the same app chiming in. Most commercial programs use AI for denoising, so perhaps looking at AI inference and data generation tests might be of some value. That said, generic AI benchmarks might not...

Unfortunately, it's not possible to edit the OP anymore and it's been so for a good while. :-/

I know I'm being rude bumping my own thread, but isn't there anyone willing to share?

Hello everyone, I was wondering whether anyone here could share some raw files made with Sigma 18-250 OS HSM and 18-200 OS HSM. I'm trying to decide between the Sigmas and the Tamron 18-270 PZD VC. I managed to find some raw shots made with the Tamron (and haven't been impressed) but none...

I'd like to, but my first post in this thread is locked. Sorry. :(

Now I know why it says "Daeyoo-hoo!" under your name (I have turned off displaying avatars). ;)

What are the specs? Come on, some juice would be nice ;)

Any changes under the hood you can share? I'm just curious :)

Perhaps using raw files and NeatImage, Noise Ninja or something similar to help with noise reduction would help you. It's what I use (RawTherapee, NeatImage and the GIMP) and I can usually complain about noise only when I take an underexposed shot at ISO 1600.

Yes but the the D5000 doesn't have a built-in motor, unlike the D50/D90/D7000. I'd say D90 or D7000 too.
