I'm 'ahead' of you both at 65, but fortunately on weekends I enjoy the company of a woman who likes what I do with my equipment, and enjoys post processing almost as much as I do. We both try to get it right in camera, and ususally do on the first shot. Post processing is usually not strictly needed, but always seems to make an image better with a bit of tweaking. -- John McWilliams |

And it's a poor workman who blames his tools, but a number of P+S'ers claim they get satisfying results from their small units. -- john mcwilliams |

. au: Why do Nikons seem to have a base ISO of 200? Is it a trade off of some kind? The D3 uses a low silicon fill factor, and makes up for it with large microlenses, which, of course, fill the wells faster. In order to meter at ISO 100, the camera would have very little RAW highlight headroom, so ISOs under 200 are only offered as special modes. Apparently, they use the low fill factor to get more noiseless electronics at the photosites. This keeps read noise down a bit, but increases shot noise a little, too. |

Is it just coincidence that low-ISO sensors on P&S start at lower ISOs? I don't understand the details but the general principal seems to apply. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |
