I agree about the benefits of SR, but I took some shots last night with the *istD, and some this evening with the K10D, both using ISO 1600. The shots were all correctly exposed at around 1/6 second. I was comparing them just now and those from the D are unsurprisingly somewhat cleaner noise wise.

The advantages of SR are considerable. And K10D banding is only a problem when a shot is grossly underexposed. I own both the D and the K10D. The K10D is a better low-light camera. Paul On Apr 4, 2007, at 9:49 AM, Charles Robinson wrote: > On Apr 4, 2007, at 8:28, David J Brooks wrote: > >> I

I think they turned out fine. SA bit of motion blur helps add to the "being there" effect. I have a similar one in May. Now i have the K10D, i think i'll do some in available light and fast primes with SR. Dave On 4/2/07, Charles Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Did you ever bring a camera

Charles, you did excellent job, given the circumstances. Judging from the EXIF data (notably focal lengths) you used Tamron 28-75/2.8 lens. This is fine lens indeed. However you could have tried faster primes such as 50 mm lenses (either f1.7 or f1.4 varieties) or even limited lenses. This coul

Yes. It was a program in the living room of an old Philadelphia mansion. I metered the light beforehand, and found I could use 1/60th at f/1.7 with P3200 in my PZ-1p. Then, the organizer decided to turn the lights down for a better mood... The next time, I brought along a subtle (but very effec

Did you ever bring a camera with to a show only to find out that there wasn't ANY LIGHTING on the darned stage? I just saw a band last weekend where the fastest shutter speed I could use (with the DS) was 1/15 of a second, at ISO 1600, with an F2.8 lens cranked wide open. It was so dark tha
