D200 ISO1600 shots

[padey]

This may have been done to death here, but for those that care. D200 ISO1600, Nikon 12-24mm f4. Not a very nice subject or photo, but great to see any noise in shadow detail.

f4, 1/30th sec, hand held. 12mm, No NR or PP or sharpening, just resized from jpg.


100% crop

I like the composition on the third image. I suspect you could develop it a little into quite an interesting shot.

Oh, ooops, this isn't C&C... noise isn't too shabby either. I'll be interested to see how the 30D compares when I make it to a meetup.

Andrew I'm interested as, I suspect, are the others with preorders waiting to come through on our D200.
Looks pretty good for the subject matter. wonder how raw files react to the noise in the shadow detail at high ISO.
Also be interested to see/hear the analysis of other members re- these samples other members with more experience and knowledge on this matter have to say.
cheers

Those look quite good noise wise.

What level on in-cam noise reduction did you do? Looks like there is some smearing of detail in the 100% crop.

I'd be very interested to see a 100% crop from a RAW file with no noise reduction.

Paul,

I have HI ISO NR turned off. Yeah RAW would contain more detail, and I normally shoot RAW, but this little non-scientific test was a quick no-brainer test.

cheers,

Wow,

I'm surprised that you had NR off. I know the JPEG has NR applied at ISO1600 even if you turn it off.... but that's still pretty darn clean!

The D200 is looking better every day... now only if I could find a shop with one I can play with

Andrew how are you finding the S3 high iso images compared to the D200?

[padey]

Andrew how are you finding the S3 high iso images compared to the D200?

The S3 is still the best Nikon F-mount high ISO champ. The noise is a bit better, but the loss of detail in the D200 compared to the S3 causes more issues.

Thanks Andrew

Thanks Andrew

Switch back to Fuji?

[shutterbug]

Still love my D200, but want a high iso cam...5D or S3

Do you still have any D70?

[shutterbug]

Yes, I still have one D70 (maxwell stock) and the other one (from you) I gave it to my brother.

One other thing. Both D200 and S3 are better then ISO1600 film prints.

With the plethora of quality DSLR's on the market, it's easy to forget how bad those ISO1600 film prints were.
