It's not so much the sensor noise as the time wasted IIRC. When you're doing 1-2 hour exposures, locking the camera up for an extra 1-2 hours for long-exposure NR is a major issue. And that's what Ralf does That's different from high ISO work (which is what I do, not what Ralf does)
My low-light work is mostly very low-light candids. The K-x works great for me and hopefully the K-5 will be in my bag in the not-to-distant future, especially since I broke my K-x recently. -Adam On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 1:12 PM, Steven Desjardins <[email protected]> wrote: > So his stuff is a worst case scenario for sensor noise.
