You've made my day, Rob. My main argument for not taking the leap to digital has been that the ability to shoot at higher ISOs wasn't there except in pro cameras. I've been seeing more and more under-$1000 cameras claim to shoot at ISO 800, and I've been feeling sick at the investment I've made in optical gear. You've reassured me that, marketing claims nothwithstanding, digital has a way to go before it can shoot credible results in available darkness.
Once it can, it will be possible to use a single camera for all ISO needs instead of keeping two or three SLR bodies loaded with films of different speed.

In my experience photographic exploits that require good photographic quality on media with a speed faster than 80-100 ISO are best shot on film where the images aren't required for immediate distribution. This is based on my experience with over seven digital cameras now..." Paul Franklin Stregevsky - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
