Why your guys don't use the free software came with your Canyon camera? CS
has BIG PROBLEM in rendering at least the 5D II files, see here a test image
that undered 4 stops:

Converted with DPP +2 stops:

Converted with CS4 +2 stops:

both W/B on the "White" color. See the serious color shift in CS4 converted
one, not to mention the different in exposure.

Try it out yourself if you are interested, may be I have missed something:

Back to the noise issue, here are two crops from DPP, one normal
exposure and the other +1 stop in DPP.

There are visible noise even with the non boost one, remember this is
an ISO100 image, just hard to accept!
