I've just posted 3 images, in the gallery, of a shot I took at the rugby, it was an evening match and the floodlights aren't up to much so I had to use my K7 at ISO 3200.
The images are 100% crops with no noise reduction, 50% NR and 100% NR.
I just wondered what everyone thinks of LR3s new noise reduction.

A different class compared to the L2 version. Now I rarely use Noise Ninja.

I also have Noise Ninja, and haven't used it since I got LR3.

Of your 3 images I would personally go for something closer to the 50% than the 100%.

I love it. Although you have to still be careful not to smear.

When I get my K-5 I'm looking forward to useable images at ISO12800 with LR3 NR added

Its great isnt it??? I am also now an ex noise ninja user, I find up to 75% results in no smearing over that & that sheeny shiny smear rears its ugly head, like someone mentioned in an earlier post I am no going through all my old images, WOW its pretty infectious...
