| I was doing a portrait session with a friend in low light conditions. I thought that I would test out the low ISO characteristics of the D600. I tried ISO 1600, 3200 and 6400. Considering the low levels of natural light the camera performed well but probably no better than a D7000 or D3 but not as well as my D3S. The D800 when I last tested under these sort of conditions performed as well as the D3S but when you consider it has three times as many pixels as a D3S that is pretty amazing. So all in all you get what you pay for. I dont have a D4 to run the comparison with but I am sure it would be just as good or slightly better. The digital noise is the critical item here as if the exposure is not perfect then there is no way back even if shooting RAW as the only thing that happens is that the noise is amplified.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised at your findings. Not having these bodies I can only compare the D3 and D7000 where the former still outpaces the latter in high ISO noise control indoors at least. The 'only way back' for static elements is multiple exposures, overlaid in partial opacity layers. Even with portraits, if your shutter speeds are high ish, your camera doesn't move and you tell the model not to move till the camera stops firing 3 shots.....you can lose the noise.

How does this compare with the high ISO 6400 noise from the D1?

Just because it can take shots at 6400 doesn't mean it can handle the sort of dynamic range you get with this type of oblique lighting set up. It's still a fill in flash scenario especially with digital.....which to a degree obviates the need for 6400.

I cant remember that far back. I dont think that my D1X stretches past 1600 before giving similar results, so I guess it will be similar on the D1.

| Pulled this old shot from Niagra Falls taken just after 1am. The ISO did not record on EXIF with the D1, but I recall using 6400 for those shots, and at the time being pleased with the high ISO availibility. This was in 2000, when ISO 6400 colour was only available by pushing Ansco 1600 by 2 stops so the D1 was arguably the best ISO 6400 available. It was also a lot easier than hand processing the slide film, 9 steps if I recall. This shot is an original with no PS or cropping. Attachment: Dsc_736 Niagra F.jpg (Downloaded 60 times)

| To get ISO6400 on the D1 you need to use Hi2 setting. I dont think I did many pictures at that setting with my D1. It took me a year or so to get into the more adventurous parts of the digital processing so I dont have any ISO3200 images I can find easily. On the D1X I do have a few.

| DxOmark has a comparison aplication on there site that lets you plug in any 3 cameras that they have tested and get the results and extra info on your choices. There are other comparisons available for lenses etc. http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare
