Emma @ 1600
I haven't ventured north of ISO 800 many times with my a200. Last night my 10 year old daughter was engaging in two of her favorite activities, reading and sitting by the fire.. I had to use ISO 1600 to get manageable shutter speeds with only the firelight. Not much in the way of noise reduction with IDC. I was plesantly suprised! Let me know what you think.. C&C always welcome. Oh yeah... 50 1.7 @ f2 John

I have tried a few shots like this but none came out as good as yours, the focus is really critical.Juanito200 wrote:... I was plesantly suprised! Let me know what you think.. C&C always welcome. Oh yeah... 50 1.7 @ f2 John
It continues to amaze me what digital has done for us, how many of us would put in an ISO 1600 film to get this type of shot? Did you try to tone down the yellow cast? People normally expect white books but it would be a shame to loose the warmth.

Re: Emma @ 1600
You guys wait till Tuesday when Nikon officially announce the D3 upgrade. I have not checked the net, but suspect the news is already out. If you think ISO 12,800 is impressive on an A550 Nikon's direction will stop you in your tracks.
A colleague went to a pre-launch conference event this week and apparently Nikon has picked up on exactly what I have been saying and writing for the last six months (ever since getting the Nikon D5000). They are now stating that Nikon's use of MPEG-4 JPEG-type video compression is a match for in-camera JPEGs of the same size, frame for frame, unlike Canon's codec which produces extremely soft images lacking enough detail for single frames to be used as high quality stills.
This was never claimed by Nikon originally, but it was my reason for choosing the D5000 over the Canon 500D. I guess others will have made the same observations - that the Nikon codec is far superior for anyone who might ever want to extract a single frame, like news photographers. And now they are actively promoting this.

Re: Emma @ 1600
HI David, just catching up here - do you mean there is a new Nikon Dn (e.g. D4 or D3xs?) coming out with video? Are you also saying they are using the video functionality as an alternative way to produce improved high ISO stills? Wow

I think some of the earlier rumours are a good guide to what will actually be announced. However, there's more. Wait and see.

Until the seals come off, may be this link that has the rumoured leaks could give an idea...
Look for the D4 and its specs..and there's more.

Re: Emma @ 1600
David, is there much difference between the video implementation on the D90 compared to the D5000?

Re: Emma @ 1600
ISO 102,400??? If you're taking a night shot and a firefly comes by... you're gonna overexpose horribly!! Harvey, thanks for the kind words... I thought about fiddling with white balance... but I liked it as is.. I think my focus is a litle soft on the 1st one. John

Re: Emma @ 1600
There seems to be some difference, with the D5000 clearly a little improved in sharpness and detail for both stills and videos. I think the image might be a little more noisy than the D90, but sharper, due to a weaker AA filter. Official specs are the same. I think the D5000 looks a bit better, and the D300S videos are the same as the D50000 visually, but with much improved sound. Of course it is all down to Sony sensors, but Sony sensors in a form which we Sony users can't yet get hold of...

Re: Emma @ 1600
He was not supposed to do that! It's still embargoed until 6am today (Wednesday).
Richard K went to the official launch Tuesday, nothing else spectacular was shown (no D700X).

Re: Emma @ 1600
So it seems that the introduction of video to dslr cameras is bringing further innovation to stills photography, rather than degrading the cameras and their feature sets. I wonder how many cycles it will take for this technology to trickle down to us amatuers?
