QUOTE(mindkiller6610 @ Jul 24 2008, 11:58 AM) ISO3200 if I am not mistaken.  Mine goes officially up to "1600". Beyond that there's a setting called "Hi". Not sure what that stands for. Never used it before except maybe once. If I expect to be shooting often indoors, I'd rather spend a little to get a flash, fast lens or a new body that plays with noise better. |

But the ISO noise level in DSLR will surely be lower than compact cameras right?
Now surveying for the right DSLR to buy.. |

QUOTE(xandman @ Jul 24 2008, 06:29 AM) can cccp2 control d40? i dun think so... it only controls d300 and above no? orenzai... wat do u mean control settings from computer? shutter speed? aperture stuff? well like i said...u need d300 and above...then use ccp2 to control them... else... no way...u can only control the shutter release from a computer... called tethered shooting...all settings done INSIDE the camera... the camera only initiates shutter release... QUOTE(razuryza @ Jul 24 2008, 07:54 AM) i think d80 also can ler.. coz i saw my bro did it with his macbook... so pro la.. taking photos with laptop...hahah ah...tethered...didnt know the word for it...btw i googles and found out that the ccp2 works for all nikon DSLR and the liveview only applies for the d300 and d3 QUOTE(Zack Styler @ Jul 24 2008, 11:10 AM) Just wanna ask.. How high can the ISO setting for D60 go? QUOTE(mindkiller6610 @ Jul 24 2008, 11:58 AM) ISO3200 if I am not mistaken. the ISO can go up to 1600...3200 is like an "extended" option... |

If you wanna have no noise high ISO powarrrrr go Nikon D3.  And yes any DLSR will have better noise performance than PnS. If you really wanna compare ISO performances, just go www.dpreview.com and compare the photo quality of different cameras. Again, I emphasize that shooting with a flash/fast lens is much better than bumping ISO to the maximum. |

DSLR is in a totally different league... many aspects affect the noise level.. crop factor... image processor etcetc...do DSLR will always have a better noise control than compact cameras...

Even if shooting using flash indoors, high ISO (800 or more) is needed with a slow shutter to be able to get ambient light in. Or else your flash photos will wash out with only white light.
That's why wedding pros usually shoot high ISO (of course, most use full frame, so high ISO is no problem), wide aperture lens and powerful flash. |
