Congrats on the new body! No fun not having it work as you expect out of the box, but good to hear it seems to be working now. As for the high ISO noise (or more accurately, the lack thereof) I have been reading that the D3 has fairly aggressive and sophisticated noise reduction algorithm going on in camera, and I wonder if the D300 has the same thing, only less so, but I have no idea how you would test that.
I have been itching to upload my Thanksgiving pics, but work has been an absolute bear this week (there is even an HDR sunset since you guys have been talking about them) |
