Low ISO vs. New Camera Sensors Hi Everyone, I have always kept my ISO as low as possible for best image quality. 400 was the most I would use in low light. Now these new cameras are claiming you can shoot at ISO 3200 with little degradation in quality. Is this becoming a reality? Can we really shoot high-quality pictures at very high ISO?

This Link - http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/iso-comparisons/2007-11/index.htm - will help to shed light onto how some cameras perform at very high ISO settings.

Cameras are getting better at higher ISOs, although I still try to keep mine as low as possible but sometimes have to sacrifice to get the DOF or shutter speed I want. I shoot a lot of bands in small clubs and concerts and continually fight with this. I am glad they are getting better and hope to get the 5D Mark II soon for its low light capability. Cheers,

I was of the same opinion (low as possible) but google Rod Mar formally of the Seattle Times. View his photos of the China Olympics - some he shot at 6000 ISO with a D3. He raises his ISO to insure that he has a better depth of field and can stop action.

I too always keep my ISO as low as possible, but with my new Canon 50D and especially my 5D MK II I have been cranking up the ISO. I just entered a jellyfish under this months macro and detail contest. The ISO was 6400, check it out. Richard
