[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 270873, member: 9240"] High ISO noise can vary greatly with image content and light intensity. So while there's certainly a lot of noise in this photo, it's by no means distracting. You also have to consider that with a SOOC jpeg that High ISO NR was likely applied, and rather well at that. Were you to look at the RAW file for the same there would be considerable noise since NR is not applied to the RAW file. Even for the jpeg shooter, if you llook at the burlap around the light switch you can see where you've lost detail in the texture from the NR. Again, an absolutely usable image and an important consideration as well (in-camera NR). But "straight out of camera" has a very different meaning to the RAW shooter, and there would be considerable noise to deal with on this shot, I suspect. Thankfully, the RAW shooter has more options as well and could likely do this good or better. Not knocking the in-camera image. I think the discussion of ISO noise here has a lot to do with loss of detail, whether or not the noise is dealt with in-camera or in post. Were this a bird on a branch somewhere I suspect the details would be very obscured, much like the texture of the burlap. But as you said, depending on what you want to capture you can certainly go much higher than ISO 1600 on a D7000, and most other current Nikons, and get a very usable image. [/QUOTE]
