Hi Mark, I never tried a battery grip. It was even suggested to me to use an external AC adapter. It all sounds good but for now I just you the In-camera noise reduction. I tried dark frames but they never seem to match up and a get some dark spots throughout the image. It is usually cloudy here in NY and there aren't very many opportunites for me to try different things.

Hi Mark, I have been using the JPEG format lately as opposed to the RAW format because in the hotter months the RAW images are loaded with noise and amp glow. I need to keep the in-camera noise reduction on to remove the hot pixels and amp glow. I was considering the newer Canon T3i as it has no amp glow and is low noise. I'm holding off on that purchase for now and just trying to get the most out of my Canon 30D. I understand what you mean about loosing some data in the JPEG images as opposed to the high resolution RAW format. In the cooler months I may switch over to RAW.
Thanks for the compliment,
Don
