1/400th @ f5.6 at full 200mm on the 2.8 70-200 Sigma DG iso 400.
Bribery brings them to about 2m from the lens
The noise on the 350D would have been about equal to iso1600 on the 40D or even worse so it has made all the difference. I have been using iso 1000 and 1600 to try and freeze wing action using speeds up to 1/2000 and still the noise is bearable. I would recommend the 40D over the 350D but i don't know if I would bother to go up from the 30D as friends get such good results from theirs.
