Shot a few pics at the pool hall last night with the K-5 and DA* 50-135/2.8. This one is f 3.5 @ 1/30th, ISO 10,000. I don't normally like to go beyond ISO 6400, but if exposure is good, noise is tolerable up to 12,800. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15273914
Wow! You must have a really good camera. You also seem like you know how to use it.
This is my favorite, even though it has a bit of motion blur. It's at f4.5 1/50th, ISO 12,800. She had just sunk the eight ball to win the game and was walking back toward me and her friends at a bar table. At some point I inadvertently bumped the stop up. F3.5 and a bit more shutter speed would have been better. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15273933
That's a great shot!
Of course both of these shots were impossible, since the K-5 has crappy low-light performance. But it doesn't know that, and I'm not telling. I'm going to let it keep thinking it can show in near darkness.
There are now two user reviews posted on the PC Mag K-5 review, mine and someone else's. I wonder if there's a convenient online blog where people could leave comments with links to high-ISO K-5 shots.
At the very least you should a link to these to: [email protected] http://www.pcmag.com/author-bio/jim-fisher
