Although, I have used it at 6400 with the L glass and a little touch-up in noise reduction, in a pinch. For a travel outfit, I am thinking of my Fuji X-E1 with the 35 and 60 lens, and the new mini Canon S-1 with my 10-22 lens for a wide. Yes, it is APS but I can still print at 12x18 with a little care in composing. Probably 14x21. For internet images it is of course moot.

When digital was noisy above ISO 400, it seemed to make more sense (use the widest aperture and the lowest shutter speed feasible, and hope for an ISO of 160), but now that noise outdoors is getting to be a thing of the past, I kind of forgot about it.

So, after first turning Auto ISO off, I turned it back on with broad limits: minimum shutter speed 1/15--with the mass of an M9, I've gotten away with 1/15 surprisingly well-- and I left the max ISO at the top. While ISO above 800 was pretty awful in the days of LR2, the noise reduction in LR5 is so good that I find ISO 2500 to be usable. > > I remembered some shots in broad daylight taken at ridiculously high ISO because I just forgot to look.
