Originally posted by cpk My experience shooting nightclub photography of flamenco dancers is that the K5 is two stops over the K7/K20D. In other words, a K5 photograph shot at 12800 has much the same noise as the other two shot at 3200.
I think you are pretty much on target there, given the same lighting and circumstances. Here is one un-processed, just downsized I shot this evening at 12,800...it would process just fine no doubt. The Raw, even better.
I am not posting Squirrels to irritate any possible "Squirrel Harters" ....I am a damn Squirrel Shooter....have been since way back when......I shoot them because I am a Squirrel Shooter...like nude shooters shoot nudes......I would do that instead, and no one would complain, but Mrs Rupert won't let me. She doesn't mind the Squirrels, as long as I keep them out of the house......
Regards!
Jpeg straight from the camera, just downsized....
1/250 F9 @ 310mm ISO 12,800 - The ISO let me stop down and get some speed too.
