Yeah, acceptable quality ISO 6400 brings a whole new take on what's 'enough light'
One note, if the K20D behaves anything like the D300, don't even consider trying the contrast filters in the Monochrome Image Tone setting at high ISO. Tried a red filter at 6400 on the D300 and the noise was so bad you could golf it. Without the filter noise was quite fine. -Adam On 2/29/08, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That should read: This is a pic I wouldn't have attempted wit the > K10D.
