Can you post your A700 shots? I tried the setting on my A700 but the pics didn't turned out as good as what was described.
Bro, this one a test shot from A700, the details (for me at least) is still good enough.

From what I learnt, Sony uses proprietary raw file format.
Proprietary is ok, just that can it be opened/processed in Photoshop / Adobe Camera Raw?

WOW....with that type of smooth noise and quality at 6400, i wun be complaining liao! i really need to start checking out my cam....did u capture in raw?
Yes, we're always more interested in photos with dark areas and shot at ISO 1600 or higher. I'm not that critical with the amount of noise at high ISO, but rather how much are colored/chroma noise, which makes the photo very unpleasant.
What's agorabasta setting? I'm curious.I agree... luminance noise is fine (white specks) but chroma noise (red/blue/green specks) is NO NO! Hopefully I'll get good results from the agorabasta settings this Sat... but I'll need to get the exposure right first... this is very tough though...

I'm not sure if you can talk about details in this shot... the resolution isn't really that great... it was a low light high ISO shot with panning to boot... but the noise performance is really very good!
I see! Thanks!The link was posted in this thread in post #125. I listed the settings in my post with the photos above. It just changes the settings under Creative Style by doing a -1 on Zone Matching and compensating brightness and sharpness.

Did you use Auto WB? The 3rd shot's WB is off from the 1st 2.
I see! Thanks!
I've had Zone -1 on all the time but didn't adjust further on the other parameters (saw this setting posted here in CS). And about brightness -2, I don't quite like the exposure result and that seems to darken and hide the noise rather than to reduce or eliminate them instead. Also, dynamic range was reduced significantly.
Yes the DR is reduced but it's ok if you're shooting low light right? The DR isn't that wide cos you want selective exposure anyway... don't think it will hurt... must try lar... my mode dial will drop off after Sat...
