that is a lot of noise I was shooting at 4000 earlier and it was usable
Your image looks underexposed and underexposure causes excessive noise. I have never had a noise issue at all, in fact the lack of noise is astonishing.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Any thoughts welcomed.

I've just also noticed you were using SPOT metering, which can throw exposures around wildly if you don't pay attention to what you are aiming at. Spot metering is really intended to be used for very precise metering, but you need to take charge of letting the camera know whether the target you are metering from is darker or lighter than a middle tone. It looks to me like the "SPOT" will have picked up that lighter patch of cloud surrounding the crane, as well as the white writing on the crane, so along with the -2/3 you had dialed in I think the underexposure can be easily explained.
Also, don't forget to have a look at the raw sharpening parameters and if there is a setting for a sharpening mask then try setting it to around 30-40 instead of 0.
YES! I was going to mention this on my last post, but worried I'd say something to make me look even more of a numpty
I focused on the writing, and perhaps I should have used matrix rather than spot. (Hope matrix isn't a Nikon term, but if it is then whatever the Canon equivelent )
I normally shoot people, and use spot metering at weddings and never thought of checking this! :bang:
No it while I with a friend studio equiptment, I realise I was getting a dark edge on the right hand side of the shot. It was really bad at 250, and still visible at 200, so maybe I will only be able to sync it at 160th..... Ah well

Just read from about page 5 through... 5DII will (hopefully) be delivered tomorrow courtesy of Wuffstuff.
Are people still finding issues with non-Canon batteries or are most of them on the market now the 'chipped' sort?
Dave
I can't speak for others, but I'm yet to find a chipped non-canon battery.
Having said that, you could shoot an entire wedding on a single battery in a 5d Mark II, so having a single spare battery is about all you'd ever need.
