Question about Nikon and reviews
Some reviewers criticize the Nikon's for not having a
100 ISO setting, they start at 200. This is supposedly because Nikon sensors in the cameras that feature this are more sensitive so that a Nikon at f4 and 1/250 of a second has an ISO of 200 while another camera will be at 100. Is this true? IF so, there should be less noise and more dynamic range in the Nikon set at 200 ISO than another DSLR set at 200 ISO. -Rich "Bittorrents are REFUNDS for all the BAD movie products Hollywood never gave us refunds for in the past" |

ISO is constant*standard_effect/necessary_exposure, and this is directly tied to the signal-to-noise ratio. www.google.com: ISO 12232 http://www.kodak.com/global/plugins/...asurements.pdf Yer a ****head FUDster, RichA, and you don't even know it. |

Take the same shot with the same lens; a t-mount with manual aperture, mounted on a tripod (in non-changing lighting), set multiple cameras to "ISO 200" with he same shutter speed, and fire away! -- John P Sheehy |

ISO is constant*standard_effect/necessary_exposure, and this is directly tied to the signal-to-noise ratio. Funny; my 10D has lower RAW values with the same subject, lens, aperture, and shutter speed than my 20D, and has a bell-curve of noise 3x as wide at "ISO 800", giving a S/N ratio about 4x as high for the 20D at the same ISO. ISO 100 has a slightly narrower bell-curve of noise on the 10D. -- John P Sheehy |
