I just went back and looked at my on-line image, K-3 at 51200: http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p400348830/h3fa48447#h3107f624 Considering that I did zero nada nothing to process the images, I think I would be comfortable shooting at this speed if I need to. Tomorrow I may play with LR noise reduction, etc. but that is part of why I put the DNG images into Dropbox - let others see what they could do with these raw materials and some processing tricks . . .
