[QUOTE="J-see, post: 409320, member: 31330"] Certainly, sensors differ and thus anyone desiring to find out has to check the information and test the limitations. My cam doesn't have shadow improvement up to around ISO 300 and after 400 gains that little it simply doesn't justify the loss at other levels. The D700 has zero improvement up to 360 or so, then gains quite a bit and half that more at 800 and then flatlines until the end. But even this information isn't enough to base one's shooting upon. Sensor pixels, conversion noise and the full well capacity have an effect and how the actual ISO increase is applied in cam also makes a difference. This is not a one-for-all method of shooting; it has to be individually tested to see when it benefits and when there's no advantage. It's a different style of shooting but not one that will suit all. It's one that costs quite some effort in the beginning but after that, pays the investment back. [/QUOTE]
