Yes, right. The 1600 in the D30 have already been nothing but an emergency option for press purposes, I rarely used it because of excessive noise. To me, 800 ASA has been the maximum acceptable speed setting. Your mileage may vary. > I'm still planning to buy one as soon as they are generally > available, They are.

But that's maybe due to the fact that there are many many registration camera setups in scientific use and cockpit recorders, which formerly used Kodak recording or T-max 3200, both with a natural EI of 1000 ASA. I think that they see a major market here as well. > Was the noise just too much at 1600, For me: Definitely. > or is it a factor of the CMOS sensor being generally > noised than it's siblings? Nope. Just more hungry. The D60 eats batteries a lot faster than the D30. With the D30 I carried 2 batteries in the camera and two spares. Now I ordered four more spares. -- Michael Quack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
