The main thing is their extremely low noise characteristics. Noise will build up in any sensor of course, but of all the DSLR's out there, the Digital Rebels and the 5D are recognized as the best. There's also hardware (filter mods) and control software that's been written for them

It's just not *wanting* to use the filters, or use them as little as possible. You start stacking filters and using small apertures and the view through the viewfinder is too dark to use. :-) Tom C. From: Godfrey DiGiorgi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net To:

But as I said, I can't get a long enough exposure time to do the job I want with much greater than ISO 3. I don't stack filters, I have a 6 and an 8 stop ND. I fit them when I need them... after focusing and with the camera set up on a tripod. Long as I'm going to that effort for a shot, it
