PeA_NuTz said:Hey guys, thinking of getting FZ20.
Only up to iso400.
Does it really matter to have a high iso like 800 or 1600 ? Thanks.

Like last time though higher mega pixel better.
So ISO doesn't really matter right?

http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/enjoydslr/p_2_011.html
It stats that:
"Noise becomes noticeable at ISO 1600 and 3200
Changing the aperture affects the depth of field, while changing the shutter speed affects the freezing or blurring of motion. And changing the ISO speed affects the picture quality. See photos above, the ISO speed affects the graininess of the image. The higher the ISO speed, the grainier the picture will look. Lower ISO speeds produce less grain.
This grain is called noise. High ISO speeds result in more noise in the image. The latest digital SLR cameras use various technologies to reduce this noise, so the image quality is still quite good even at very high ISO speeds."
Is this true?

Hexlord said:Actually to be honest I didn't even notice the noise until you guys brought it up last time at Clubsnap as well as the Dpreview reviews..
ExplorerZ said:yes true, digital SLR are far far far stronger than PnS in terms of noise control (except the fuji PnS :embrass
but some dSLR doesn't have noise at iso800 as well just that its even close to the extreme (visible and very usable for print). but as for iso3200, its not that good in most dSLR now except for a few rare cases one of which is the Canon 5D :thumbsup:

CYRN said:Not really true... below shows 30D @ ISO 3200.
Anyway, PeA_NuTz. higher ISO options only means that the cam is more versatile, useful or not really depends on what you are shooting.
