This was Canon 20D JPEG at 6400 580 fill and snoot studio flash. No PS Noise Reduction.
1/60 th handheld F/4.

With and Without PS Noise Reduction would be good !

Canon 5D, ISO3200, 50/1.0 or 85/1.2, handheld, AE and NN as needed. The slower wides required a tripod. No Flash, just not sporting for low light work better to use a full Moon.

Examples are here and here.

When you state that it is a canon 20d at 6400? I am confused? 3200 and pushing a stop, or is there a firmware release that I hadn't heard about.

No if you go into the menu area there is a spot where you can up the 20D to 6400.

My Bad I was thinking 3200 and mixed it up.

EXIF shows ISO 400 for that shot anyway
