I am not asking for advice on which camera to get, I just never thought I would outgrow my 400D so quickly :(

Its a brilliant camera, Ive captured some corking shots with it, but I feel the ISO is letting me down, and Ive found myself looking for something else lately.

Ill prob go off the idea when I look at my bank balance, but dammit! I need something bigger and better. I wonder what my Secret Santa has bought me this year? :lol:

D3 or D700, high ISO is breathtaking.

Welcome, I will prepare a bed for you.

Gary.
 
hahaha! I did wonder! Thought Mr Betty might have something to say about that :p
 
Damn it Gary, I was onto a winnar there :D

I havent ruled out moving to the dark side yet, but it means I need to buy shedloads of new memory cards :lol:
 
Oh and Gary, I could barely afford the 400D, I dont think a D3 is on the cards :(:(
 
the 40d sounds perfect for you;)
 
Stay with Canon betty ill give you cokies :D and cake :D :lol:

But isnt the max ISO on a 40D 3200? Is that really enough?

I built my career on ISO1600. Hardly used 3200 as it was a bit much. Now that they have bodies with ISO25,600 I have to have it. You can definitely get by without it though.

The D300 I hear has very good ISO performance?

Not as good as the D3 - but I'm happy snapping away with it at ISO1600 - with these long winter evenings, I'm trying 3200 and higher, and I'm really impressed with the results!
 
Thanks for those Gary, Ill have a nosey when I get home tonight :)
 
what iso does the 400d go up to???
 
EdinburghGary said:
Well the good news is, more and more cameras are going to be released with similar ISO performance. The bad news, it may take a while for the prices to be *amazing*. The D300 I hear has very good ISO performance?

Are you even serious? :lol:

ISO performance at ISO3200 is pretty damn good!
Do NOT go to the Darkside, else you will just be a sheep like everyone else is ;) :lol:
 
ye betty 3200 is well high enough i have only ever used it once and that was at a football match with only 2 flood lights working :D :lol:

Yeah was just wondering why you'd need such high ISO :shrug:

Remember our Wedding at Canon Hall !!!

There the D300 performed well enough at 3,200 - but I have to admit a D3 at 6,400 or higher would have been preferable

That said, it was the ONLY case of needing even 3,200 from all last year's Shoots - so I'll not be swapping anytime soon

Just wait until the D6 comes out with it's effective ISO 1million and switchable Infra Red option for perfect clarity in the dark - Gary & Pete will never sleep again :D

Its crazy at what ISO you can shoot up to now! I think that 3200 would be MORE then enough, and the 40d handles this really well.
 
Betty hang on for a bit, I may well be selling my 40D for £1 at this rate :lol: (but crying inside, lol).
 
Betty i know how you feel, i have put in loads of hours of over time and got my hands on a 50D on friday.
the high ISO is lovely and the fact that you dont have to go a full stop when changing is a nice benfit from the 400D
 
Hum - checking the POTY comp

1. Lady Pitstop - Canon 400D



can't see a reason to move over from Canon :D
