[QUOTE="aroy, post: 320626, member: 16090"] If you shoot in FAT light, the noise is insignificant. In current generation bodies, the least DR of 12.8 EV is in D3300 and the most of 14.4EV is in D610. What you need is a DR of 8-10 for a good noise free image at ISO 100. I have experienced barely visible noise in my D3300 at ISO 400, and in most cases I can aford to shoot at ISO 100 without any problems.
