I'm still wrestling with my K20D in high ISO. I'm often severely disappointed with the noise level. Last night, I posted these shots to facebook: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157622030236980/
I just got a note from a friend of a friend about them: Eric's friend Joe here. Hey, saw the pics you posted, very nice! The lighting was really nice, was it just natural light or fill-flash? It was very nice lighting, but I wondered if if was off-camera flash. Maybe high ISO, but they didn't look noisy. Just wanted to say nice pics! So, it's interesting that a Canon user thinks that my ISO 1600-3200 shots are done with a flash because they aren't very noisy. Then again, I'm not posting the ones that look like crap. I'm finding that manual focus is working a lot better for me than autofocus in low light dance photography, but that sometimes I'll just totally blow the focus. I think that it is because I'm using the red focus alerts as an aid, and sometimes they get confused. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
