Fooling around in the lounge yesterday and decided to test the ISO on the d7100 - well not a full blown test as in 20 different shots.

Just 1 in fact at ISO 2000

This is after removing noise in LR, no ther adjustments at all. Pretty impressive.

[MENTION=6277]Don Kuykendall[/MENTION] ran a whole lot of tests on the D7100 ISO capablities.

Was it on the d7100 or the D5100? I don't remember. Either way the D7100 does great with high ISO as long as you get the exposure correct. Underexposure does not hold up well in just about any of the cameras.

Don speaks the truth. As long as you don't have to pull much shadow, the D7100 will do a nice job even at ISO 3200.

I have been very reluctant to even go to 1600 so this is a pleasant surprise

Do what I did a couple of years ago. Go find a nice place to shoot in the backyard. Put the camera on a tripod so you get the same shot each time. Shoot at 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 and 6400

Make sure you get a good exposure on each shot.. Now do not do any post processing other than sizing on any of them. Take a sample spot and blow each one of them up to 100% and then decide on exactly how much noise is acceptable. A 100% crop is extreme so be sure to look at the full shot also,

I is really a good exercise for anyone to do with their camera. Lets you feel comfortable with your choice of ISO max

Good to know. I've been pixel peeping in some of my images lately and I've just about convinced myself to trade the D7100 for a D750. At least I have another week to torment myself. :p

I find iso2000 OK most of the time on my D7100, I have my auto iso set at 3200 max, some shots at 3200 are too noisy for my liking , but I do get some keepers.

This shot is at iso2000...minimal noise reduction in PP.

If the d3200 had a setting of ISO 2000, I would be happy with it too. My D7100 is great for stopping motion at a high shutter speed or low light at such ISOs.
I am very happy with the recent purchase.
I have no money now to buy a D750... :D
