I was looking over the Ultimate Exposure Calculator again...
Ultimate Exposure Computer
(thanks Fred Parker!)
And I remembered a discussion a long time ago about whether 1/8000 was needed in camera body. I was considering the camera capability again... and I was again reminded that we need better sensors.
One of my subjects is youth basketball in a dingy gym ~EV4-5 I was using ISO3200, F/2, 1/180
another subject is family shots outdoors ~EV15 ISO200, 1/4000, F/4
I easily hit both extremes of the cameras capability. In fact even expensive zooms (f/2.8) arent fast enough for those dingy gyms, and the top end shutters aren't fast enough to open up the fast portrait lenses (f/1.4-f/3.5)
The K10 with ISO100 would be a stop more useful outdoors, but I dont think I would get any shots in the dingy gyms. I need the ISO3200 of the K100D for that!
I think that I recall an opinion from the past discussion was that these are examples of bad light. Dont take pictures in bad light.
What do you guys do? just leave the camera in the bag?
