The noise is annoying, but you're absolutely right - software can take
care of it - and shooting film at high iso's it is also a problem.

The noise issue is secondary, IMO.  If I buy, it will be because of
handling, lens quailty, and image quality.  The
higher-than-the-competition-from-C*NON noise can be compensated for by
software processing.  We've all dealt with grain in the past, it's no
different than noise.  I don't shoot at high ISO's much, so the issue
may be minor.  The C*anon CMOS chips definitely have lower noise at the
higher ISO's, which is a big plug for them.

OTOH, I am probably just talking myself into something. :-)
