[QUOTE="rangioran, post: 406641, member: 35523"] Really not too sure if I want to dip my toe into this one, however - here goes. The way I understand it is that, as so many have already agreed, it's ONLY the shutter speed-f/stop combination that determines precisely how much light the sensor is subjected to and in turn gathers. The purpose of the 'ISO' setting, which in my book should have been labelled 'GAIN' setting is to amplify the resultant image electronically within camera. As anyone with a fairly basic understanding of analogue (yes, that's the way I spell it!) amplification will know, as soon as you begin increasing the gain of a circuit - be it audio, visual or whatever - you begin introducing 'noise' of one type or another. That is a simple and well understood FACT. As I see J-see's argument, it's far better NOT to introduce noise via amplification at the exposure stage and 'amplify' the gain of the resultant image in PP? Really a case of whatever floats your boat :D [/QUOTE]
