Capitol meets 6400 ISO

[PhotoByLeal]

First time for me shooting the D700 @ Austin @ 3200 ISO inside and 6400 ISO outside!

tell me what you think?

They tell me I could really use a D700 (well, want one anyway). Great shots of the capital.

looks very clean for 6400 iso. the color is right on the mark (looking at the grass in image 2)!

[dmora]

Looks good, color is perfect and noise is more than acceptable.

Pretty cool!

But for me I prefer low ISO, longer exposures and a tripod for night shots, although the black sky you have is harder to get that way!

[Jusselin]

freaking cool what lens are you using?

Repeat after me, YOU NEED A NIKON D700!

Did not have a tripod and I wanted to try out the 6400 ISO!
I say if you got, use it!

Nothing fancy an older Nikon 24-120 3.5-5.6 AF-S, but remember the D700 is full frame and low ISO! That lens is very sharp @ 5 or 5.6 +!

I will post some of Destin, FL later this week when we get there or in the next couple of days... we leave tomorrow!

thanks,

No I don't! Don't make me sell my 17-55 for a replacement FX version! I've struggled with this decision for months and finally decided to stick with DX for now.

I'm hoping if I wait long enough the DX cameras will catch up to the current FX ISO capabilities in a few years.

I might get mugged for saying this, but I really like the D700's high ISO capabilities. Great camera, and you made great use of it as well! Love the shots.

Thanks Fred, Mike and Brian.....
Mike, you won't be disappointed..... ;o}
Brian, I got your back... I still have a Canon....

What time was this? The capitol is open for viewing at night?

Very nice Angel! I loved my D700. Since moving to the D3S though... whole 'nuther level. Check out this 100% crop of a crappy test shot... at 6400... no sharpening, no noise reduction:

NOTE: This was just a fleeting glance to show someone else the ISO performance... the shot totally sucks and that's all that needs to be said.
