Noise
The noise test consists of pictures of our studio shot taken at increasing ISO levels to show the effect on the image. The pictures were taken after resetting the camera to its factory default settings. The camera is then set to record with the highest quality JPEG option with manual WB.

In this noise comparison, we can see that the Coolpix 8400 does a good job of handling noise from ISO 50 to 200. At ISO 400, the noise becomes much more noticeable and there is a significant loss of detail. In addition, we can see the introduction of discolored pixels throughout the noise image.

That you playing the guitar in those clips Anand?Don't suppose there's any hope you feel like starting a section on consumer to semi pro level audio recording hardware / software eg M-audio Audiophile or Terratecs DMX fire type cards not that Creative rubbish. Be nice to have anandtech quality reviews on that type of product and who knows might even cause them to release less buggy drivers if they are under more scrutiny.
*sorry for being totally off topic :), in other news its nice to see you continue with the camera reviews*
