I've always been puzzled about this preoccupation with ISO 100.
If ISO 200 on the D300 is cleaner than ISO 100 on the D200, why not just use ISO 200 and adjust shutter speed accordingly?
Just wondering lah, maybe someone can enlightenThanks!
ahh I see, thanks!
It never occurred to me that way, even with the scenario you described with aperture wide open on a very fast lens on a very bright day, it's such a unlikely scenario? Or are the folks who want ISO 100 even thinking of this scenario in the first place? Do they have such a fast lens in the first place?
Plus the fact that ISO 100 is available in the D300 albeit in the Lo mode, or you could still stick to the same shutter speed and adjust picture post-shot (i.e. manually mimicking Lo mode)
Just thinking aloud lah, cos it could be that they just need to understand themselves why they needed ISO 100 in the first place and make a better informed choice.
Oh ya.. Somthing came up again. ISO 100 is useful if you want slow shutter speed for light trail or water flow. I know can use ND filter but that is one more item to bring (to be lost or break.)
I'd think if taking a waterfall picture in bright daylight, one would probably want to set the shutter speed. With a lower ISO (eg 100), it could prevent overexposure.
Feels the FX forces .... :bsmilie:
Unless you want really shallow DoF also, otherwise I think you can close the aperture a stop down to achieve the same effect..

Buy loh, its not that expensive as compared to B.... ;p
Yes.. Want really shallow DOF. Else, can definately step down.
Light trail in bright daylight - err, think that example doesn't hold. But if u really have to have shallow depth of field for water flow in really bright light that it would be over-exposed (unlikely though it may seem), then I'd suggest for you to use the same settings as you would have if you were using iso 100. The pic will be one stop under-exposed. Adjustments are then to be made post-shot.
actually, delivery of my Baby girl (in absolute $ terms) in hospital is cheaper than the RRP of D3. :bsmilie:
