ISO 1000, 5ft x 3.5ft Print, Handheld, Ambient

[sulhan]

Hiee Pals,

Just to share a little "dirty" non scientific tests I did here to test out the DRO at High SIO and the detail that could be captured by the A700 in a nightscene - non ideal setup (no tripod).

This shot was taken in Kobe Japan. It was taken in the Chinatown Kobe - Nankinmachi.

Anyway, I was just passing by the place and thought of putting the A700 to a dirty test.
- Noise Reduction Off
- ISO 1000
- Handheld
- DRO (-)

So here is the photo of the actual print on 5ft x 3.5ft. Seeing the Print is believing, the colors are just great inspite of the chroma noise in the darkened region. Graininess is inherent to this shot at high ISO.


Thanks to my friend (Hafxxx) for helping me with this print.

At this print size, i took photo of some regions to show the level of details that were captured in the darkened regions.









The ability to capture details of areas in the darkened regions proves that a tool like this is great for investigators - spying on people hiding the dark.

Well, as i said again this is a quick non scientific dirty test just to show the amount of detials still achievable at low light - with handheld shot.

Setup info:
- Camera - A700 @ JPEG fine Large
- Sigma 10-20mm @ 20mm - This lens is really greta even at the corners. If the opportunity permits, I can show you the sharpness you get out of this APS-C lens.

sorry, not sony here but i don't really get what is going on, have a few questions

1) is the shot taken with a700? i assume the shot is yours, right?

2) the subsequent pictures after the first are taken with the a700?

1) YES it's his i belive.
2) The subsequent pics are taken with A700 but printed out one.

thanks sulhan, you just brought the point that pixel-peeping is not everything, what matters is when it comes to prints the cam is still mighty impressive

Paper plays a part also.... not just a camera.... but of course the ratio will be camera 60% : paper and ink 25% : Human knowledge of converting the file 10% : Software 5%

an interesting read on the a700 high iso in retaining detail and color .....

That's nice bro Sulhan.

I've shot some at iso 6400... the results are decent, and there's a lot of detail that's preserved.

all the pics are from the same printed out large photo. a close up view on the printed photo to show more detail.
