I seldom go 3200 and above...even when shooting at 2500-3200, can feel the picture abit sensitive already.. the highest i go usually 2000. but of cause different situation different settings for different purposes

depending on situation, sometimes if there's ample light i wont push past ISO800. worse case, max is 1600, after that it's too grainy that i would probably have to PP as a B&W :sweat:

hi and welcome. your manual is a treasure trove of info so be sure to consult it every now and then. if you're still not sure about anything related to the d90, feel free to ask our bros here.

Today I've no choice but to use ISO 3200 in my shoots... otherwise, all my pictures will become a blurry affair... Too far away to use flash and the lighting conditions are just so-so... :bsmilie:
Sometimes, it's really a case of high ISO noise versus blurry pictures... in my case, I opted for high ISO... Not necessary the best choice, but optimum...

ok so we have two 3200 and one 1600

My max is actually 2000, not 3200, like i said..depends on situations
Just play around more with your camera more

Agree with appleshem, it largely depends on what you shoot. I dont normally shoot under the stage conditions that kriegs did, so i can still keep my high ISO tolerance to a lower number. But if need to, i could crank it up to 4000 ISO just to keep the shutter speed i require

Strongly agreed. Ytr night at Chinatown for a pure street-photography trip, even with aperture wide open at f1.4 n f2.8 without iso2000 or iso3200(which I tried), I get blurry pix. And dun expect me to use flash on ppl too, correct.
Need that shutter speed, wat to do. But satisfied with the pix eventually, cannot complain too much. Can't get the best of 2 or 3 worlds in this suituation. Just dun zoom in too much n crop it. :bsmilie:

Some people cannot take it so they moved up to FF where ISO levels are more "dreamy" there... :bsmilie: But I do see the reason... it depends on your level of acceptability... Then again, there are special noise reduction programs out there to help... haven't tried it so I can't comment...

Strongly Agreed again. This iso thingy and FX sensor. Other, I think, pls dun flame, D90 can do the job. :angel: :angel:

Shoot some street photos with 35mm f1.8. Not perfect, but still do the job. Sometimes you just couldn't miss those great scene and moment

second skylover. Yes for street. However, do prepare to move around much more. However, for landscape will be a lot more harder unless you own a whole range of primes.:bsmilie:

Macro mode is only there as a pre-set settings on the CAM that would be optimum when you want to do macro. It will not override your LENS' minimum focusing distance. Think of it as the Night mode, camera will auto select your aperture and shutter speed plus set flash to rear slow to capture all the ambient light. But it will not override your kit lens' max aperture to become f1.8.
yeah. i think it boils down to the mimimum FD of the lens, and given the size of the subject (1:64 scale cars), it's really hit the limit. i did look at my other 'close up' shots and it's decently sharp and nearly up close.
@ ZCA,
just shooting scale model cars. my other hobby eating into my wallet. :sweat:

+1.
however, i have personally not gone past ISO 3200 (yet).
at ISO 3200 in a HDB room lit by one 22W flourescent light, the pictures are already grainy. it's acceptable (for me) for use on the web, but i don't think it will look good on prints larger than 4R.
at the most, i usually keep the maximum at ISO 1600, ISO 3200 is my last option. after that, gotta have a flash.

Went ISO1600 with 35mm 1.8 in a dim-lighted restaurant without flash, result was satisfactory. Not very noisy and the picture was still sharp. And I do agree that I will rather get grainy effect (noise) than blurry picture which is unusable. Do you want a in-focus picture or a OOF picture, your choice.
35mm for street can be done and true, you got to move around. You don't have the versatility of a zoom but it actually push u to learn harder. When I use a zoom, I am too lazy to move. I just zoom in and out. ;p
