I am thinking about how to assess colour tone gradation etc. This was just
a quick ISO thing. One thing I have noticed is that the Nikon tends to
over expose. Like most digital cameras, I think I will be shooting -1EV,
which is what I do with the DMR pretty much. I hate blown out highlights,
and on my evening light test, the Nikon gave me green leaves on a tree
with red/yellow autumn colour until I cut back the exposure.

Cheers
