My understanding is that if you shoot on an ISO of 1600 then you're going to produce a lot of noise. But none is apparent on this video. Why did you have it on that setting if i may ask?

@rawrcalumx This video is handheld, going for a len with a higher aperture value say f1.8 or higher and a tripod will yank even better result. Personally I prefer a dark surrounding which will give you a better perspective on the firework itself. Cheers.

@rawrcalumx For this shot, my len is at the widest /3.5, ISO 1600 is the max for the noise level to be still acceptable for Canon 600D. And I think the main reason which you dont notice much noise in this video is because the surrounding is quite dark except the firework itself. Video editing program like Adobe premier which I am using can reduced the noise level but NO editing is done on this video thought.

How is the image and video quality on 600D? Do you recommend this camera?

[AllenYew]

@swanty32e Canon 600D produce good image and video but it does not matter which brand or model you purchase, it can be Nikon or Canon, the image result depend on our photographic skill, NOT the camera. I do suggest to go for better lens.

@rawrcalumx hello! what you mean a lot of noise???

[KyleHawash]

I've got a Canon EOS 600 D and it's making so much noise!

Don't know what to do..

@AllenYew Thanks!

[AllenYew]

@Jheemusic Thank you. Personally the video is not up to my expectation as the tree in front block some of the firework display :) .. You can try TK Photo (Funan Level 2) or Alan Photo (Sim Lim Square Level 1) , their price should be among the lowest. Cheers.
