Originally posted by brewmaster15 I know our dslrs can go incredibly high on the ISO and the numbers climb with each new model. But whats acceptible to one person often isnt to another. My best dslrs right now are k3 and even on them I really rarely shoot higher than Iso 1600 . Usually 800 or less. I may still have film mentality on my head... but thats what I do.
So please share the iso you mostly use and what kind gear- subject -conditions you shoot at. Im really interested in what you feel the highest useful iso is for the kind of photography you do.
Thanks,

With film I shot at 200 max for color and 400 max for B&W.
With the K-30 I shot as high as 800.
With the KP I ran several test shots at 25600, and now shoot often TAv with a max of 12800, but I'll raise even that if I truly need it to capture the subject.
