Re: DMR/EI3200

This is another proof that a high-quality digital SLR, whether from Leica, Canon, Olympus etc., will produce results far superior to film at high ISO speeds.

During my granddaughter's first easter egg hunt I accidentally made a couple of exposures at 1/1000 sec where the meter indicated something closer to 1/100 sec, so this was about 3 stops underexposed. The DMR was set at ISO 400 making these photos exposed at about EI 3200. I pushed during processing to compensate using ACR bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 which as I understand it doesn't do a great job at noise reduction. No other noise reduction software was used, so consider this a worst-case scenario.

Keep in mind I'm making no claims w.r.t. the artistic merit or my focussing skill in this picture; you can see that her coat's zipper and embroidery is in the plane of focus, not her eyes. I'm also making no claims w.r.t. the usability of this photo from a noise point of view, that's up to each of us to decide individually. Just the facts, ma'am.
