So I took a series of test shots with the K5 through the entire iso range. If anyone wants the raw files to look at I'll be glad to post them somewhere, I just need to figure out where.
In the meantime, I thought I would just post two downsized images for now, one at iso100 and the other at iso 51200. Both processed in LR3 using the default settings, except I bumped up the color noise reduction a little on the 51200 (to 50). I have to be honest, I have no idea what that means exactly as I just downloaded LR3 a couple days ago and have next to no experience processing raw files
Then I downsized them and I applied light sharpening as I normally would if I were posting something on the web. Again, I was just looking to see if 51200 was even potentially usable (without going through a lot of trouble) for stuff like web postings. Not saying I would make a point to use 51200, but it could be worse
