Overlooked the rather interesting exposure spec's on http://www.irdigital.net/ : 200ASA, 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (hmm....that's conflicting, with 200ASA SunnySixteen says 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED], or almost 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED] cq a true 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]). Which means that regardless of whether D30 or D60 *can* record IR, there is still a very strong IR-block filter inside....perhaps the difference beteen D30 and D60 is in that filter, or in the chip.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ Willem, Yes and no. The Sunny 16 rule is not foolproof it is merely a guide. You need to open up 1/2 to 1 stop to get the shadow detail or shadows will be black. Over the years I have found the best way around it is to use what I term the modified 11 rule. Here is what I mean. If you are set to ISO 200, use the next lower (full) shutter speed 1/125 and use F11 as a gauge for a subject that is mostly in the sun. For Partial shade open up one more stop. For full shade open up 2 stops. So if in shade you would have 1/125 at F5.6 or 1/60 at F8. This applies to North America and most of Europe, however, in places like Africa and parts of Asia the difference between sun and shade can be 3 stops. Using this method my exposures are perfect (and I use transparency film) 98% of the time. Additionally this does show a real exposure would be very close to what is shown in reference to your link.
