Looks like this guy is making beginners more confused.

Comparing low vs high ISO as same shutter speed, then of course the low ISO picture will be darker. Then increase brightness digitally to show more noise and say lower ISO more noise. rclxub.gif

Try to shoot picture at correct exposure with low ISO and also with high ISO, meaning the low ISO one with longer exposure compare to the high ISO one. This will give both picture with same brightness. Then magnify the picture to see which one is grainier. I can bet the the one with high ISO will have more noise.

Your statement is only valid looking at one perspective. smile.gif

Everything is interrelated in photography. Faster lenses just means lenses with wider aperture capability than most lenses but that will reduce depth of field (focus zone).

Correct la, i did said depends on location and when u shoot lol

Indoor and evening shot where light is dimmer or less light, it is ok to crank the ISO but compensate with right aperture and shutter speed. Some juniors i met so afraid to crank iso higher than 3600 because worried will be too noisy, so they ended taking darker shot and post process it

Yes you can play around the ISO because sometimes lighting condition is a fixed condition because you want to capture the ambience. Otherwise you can use flash if desired.

Well, all I can say is higher ISO will always be grainier than lower ISO if both picture are at correct exposure. smile.gif
