Experimenting D700 high iso, iso 3200

By Ryan Smith | Published: March 17, 2010

I’m just experimenting with my new camera until I have a real shoot this weekend. Actually the D700 really won’t make much of a difference over my D300 for outdoor photography in good light. Where the advantage comes in is for example at a wedding reception. It can easily take pictures at iso 3200 with very little noise and 6400 looks clear as well. That is about 4-8 times as sensitive to light as my old camera, and about 50-100x more sensitive than a typical point and shoot. So if you liked my pictures before, for example something taken in candlelight, they are going to look incredible now. This is one of the top cameras there is for taking pictures in low light.

Something I was just thinking about as well.  Cameras like this so far blow away what was possible in the film days, any photographer that acts like they are somehow better because they use film or should charge a premium for this, they are fooling you.  There is just no comparison between the digital camera technology available now with anything that came before in my opinion.
