[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I started to write about this high ASA stuff , quality etc. one camera over another, particularly when the whole digital camera world is constantly in a major state of flux with improvements. What is read one day is completely obliterated the next by the latest Tinker toy . However, I figured it was much better use of my time if I didn't write as all it would do is, create a great waste of time on my part! And that of others reading it. So I'm going out to shovel the snow off the driveway and front steps. :-) Have a nice day with the tinker toys girls and boys! :-) :-) Ted. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Gee Bee Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 11:31 PM To: LUG Subject: [Leica] High-ISO performance Rant - Saying it with pictures (OT) A couple of pages of shots that may be of interest for the high ISO performance buffs: > I've just about had it with this obsession with high-ISO performance and the > common wisdom these days that ONLY a full-frame 35mm digital camera, such as > the D700 is capable of being used at higher ISO settings.
