Canon XSi (450D) Noise Performance & Comparison to Canon 300D

Rudy Kokich used a GRISM spectroscope to measure an unmodified T3i camera and the same camera after I did a Full Spectrum modification using an Astronomik MC Clear Glass replacement. He also measured the modified camera with Astronomik UV/IR Luminance and CLS-CCD clip filters. Used with his permission are the results below:
