[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 279043, member: 9240"] Noise has as much to do with the content of the shot as it does with the ISO. Shoot a white wall at ISO 3200 with that D7000 (I had one) and you're going to see plenty of noise. Move a rather busy group of people in front of that white wall, with patterns to distract all those little dots and chances are the noise is less noticeable. Proper exposure is important, because if you need to manipulate the exposure in post to get it right you're not just going to amplify light, you're amplifying noise. Exposure doesn't limit the noise - that's purely a function of ISO - it's the manipulation of the exposure after the fact. Nail the exposure, compose a good photo, and the noise simply becomes a part of it and not a [I]problem to be dealt with[/I]. There are plenty of great photos with plenty of noise, but when you capture the image, [I]THAT[/I] is the only thing that people will take away from it (unless they just like criticizing things).
