Waste of money buying a Macbook.Buy a Nikon d7000 and down load fastStone.Then you will have solved the noise problem you started this thread about. If you buy a Macbook you may well be starting a new thread about how to solve the horrible glossy reflective screen on your Macbook.:shake:

The D5100 and D7000 have identical sensors so I doubt the noise issue will change.

upgrade to the Matte screen instead. Simples

must hve missed the bit where it says he's shooting wide open ,,hang on just have another look ...nope still cant find it ,,,,

my point being he maybe dosent have to shoot wide open at iso 1600

You're criticising me for using "if", and qualifying it with a "maybe"?

Likewise, there's no mention of him shooting in A priority. If he is, then DOF will always be defined by the settings he decides himself. Aperture, focal length, distance to subject. iso will play no part in determining DOF when in A priority, only the shutter speed.

Because people don't use manual purely to control their exposure. You might want to control your shutter speed and aperture, letting the meter decide your iso for you (it's mostly for use in low light situations).

Hi Triggar,

i think that's what i said in my post!

Ah, I wasn't paying attention.

It's an odd approach to take, as the high iso will only enable sharpness through maintaining a high shutter speed, and do nothing with regards to focussing on the right spot or having sufficient depth of field.

it will give better depth of field if he uses iso 1600 as opposed to iso 100 ( if he chooses )
it will not only help him to enable sharpness through maintaining a high shutter speed because he can use a smaller aperture

He was right to say it's an odd approach. Aperture is more commonly used for creativity than shutter speed, so if you were leaving it at iso 1600 you'd normally choose the aperture that's right for the shot, and let the speed take care of itself.
