If you then clicked the shot to view the whole image in your browser (as you can do with the above link) then at worse it looks much like the noise you would see in film (film grain). Its there of course, but its completely different to the noise seem in the Nikon above. I think I have provided example shots to you in the past that where taken at ISO3200 underground. If I recall correctly you where amazed at the lack of noise in the unedited versions.

That is where Canon has had the lead for ages. It is the same story after processing but in fairness not so pronounced. Nikon does less noise reduction in camera. The finished results are a lot closer when you look at noise scores but the equivalent Canon still seems to edge it by about half a stop.
