Simon,
Nothing to truly add - sorry. I will have to see if I get any time to look at the shots I have taken in very low light.
I often shoot with available light - film and digital.
With film I have never been happy with color print fast film. B&W is much better.
Comparing shots taken with the *ist D with film cameras - the *ist D comes out much better due to the lessened apparent grain.
Often I accept the less than stellar performance due to the fact that I could not have gotten a better, or comparable, shot with film.
I have shot inside restaurants and parties with no lights along with sporting events at night.
Just my little useless info,
C�sar Panama City, Florida

Hi All,
I'm wondering what experiences people have had shooting, specifically
with the *istD, in low light around the 4-7 EV range. I'm interested in
how it effects the capture on the sensor, not focusing. Does the dynamic range stay the same? Are there other problems that come
up? Is it better than film at an equivalent ISO?
Also, has anyone experimented with long exposures of over a minute?
Sorry if these questions have come up before, and thanks in advance for
replies.
Cheers,
Simon
