The lowest ISO that will do the job.

I seem to use 400 or 800 mostly these days.
Down in the deep dark south, it gives me the depth of field and speed, esp during winter months

I have noticed in the past couple of weeks that I have been shooting hundreds of photos at 6400 ISO!
Last week I shot the D3 head to head with the Canon 1D MkIII and the results were very interesting. The Nikon D3 at 12,800 looked about as acceptable as the 1D MkIII at 3200. At 800 ISO the Nikon also looked the most pleasing out of the 1D MkIII and the 5D at 800 ISO in the same portrait situation. This camera really is working well at the high ISOs and it will create a new range of opportunities for Nikon photographers.
