These were old 7D captures, but I reprocessed them under ACR 6.1 which seems to do a much better job than DPP and older ACRs in separating detail from noise.

I sure hope Canon can come up with cleaner sensor than the current 7D though. :-)

ACR 6.1 is available in CS5 and in latest versions of Lightroom, Ely. It extracts detail and minimizes noise much better than the ACR in CS4.
