How is it at ISO 1600?


If it is good, that plus a fast prime, and an antishake body, might be what
I need. I've been considering low light, no tripod, no flash solutions
for shooting in churches.

....like the rest of us, you'll have to wait as the striptease
continues... I would expect that it is similar to the D70/D100
in that respect.

Cheers,
Alan

Judging from the only sample picture, which is half size, it's good.

Where did you see an ISO 1600 sample? Got a link?

It is on a japanese site, but the site is expecting high traffic and is
totally inaccessible right now. I managed to get 3/4 of the image down but
then my resuming program wouldn't resume anymore, overwriting the file :-P

Still, I thought what I saw was pretty good.

Amazing how a good soft box will light a face.

Depends on the subject. A rugged faced fisherman is best shot in
harher light such that his face suggests his hardy life...
generally, CW has us shoot the gents in harsher light than the ladies.

According to EXIF, that shot did *not* use flash, therefore no softbox.
It was 85mm focal length 1/160 second f/1.41 autoexposure at 100 ISO.
Need to rotate left 90 degrees, the model is standing. She's doing a
great job keeping mostly within the (thin!) focal plane, except for her
right elbow.

This AF 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens has a nice bokeh!

1. Exposure (per the EXIF) was 1/160 @ f/5.6 ISO 100.

[[nitpick: a focal __plane__ is infinitely thin...
But I take your meaning to be DOF ]]

The actual DOF then, rather than being a few cm, is about 15
cm (if she was at 2 m from the lens).

(and yes I understood her to be standing for various reasons
including the way her hair and jewelry fall...)

2. The shutter speed was 1/160 which is the max x-sync for the
camera. The camera would not know if a studio light was used
(triggered by PC sync, that is a shutter system dumb contact
which the s/w would not know about). EXIF records built-in flash
or mounted flash action.

3. It could have been diffused natural light ...
the shot is 2.3 stops open from sunny-16. The scene behind
the lady suggests outdoor siding so could have been a screened in
porch area or similar. Zoom in on her eye and it sure looks like
a softbox signature, however ... could be a window also.

4. It 'could' be a hot light, however I doubt it

Cheers,
Alan
