Hey everyone! I just picked up a Dx1 and I have to say I'm impressed! Coming from film and then getting stuck with a crappy Olympus E300 4/3rds system, this camera is bliss!
Anyway, I have a question about the low light sensitivity. It seems that even in overcast situations where my E300 could pull ISO 200 at 60/s with a 3.5f, the D1X has to be put at ISO 400-600 and still shoot at 15-30/s at 3.5f. is this an inherent quirk with this camera? I only have the one lens right now. A Nikkor AF-S 18-55mmG DX. I haven't had a chance to try a faster lens but Its strange to me how much extra light this needs. Is it because its a DX crop factor versus the 4/3rds and therefor needs more light to fill the sensor? Are you folks using flashes a lot? I feel like I will need to have a flash handy anytime I'm inside at this point. Maybe I just need to find a good 1.8f lens. sorry for the rambling. hope you can answer some of these questions.
