D600 at ISO 25,600

D600 at ISO 12,800

I tried ISO 12,800 with my Nikon D600 using my Nikon 70-200VR F2.8 lens. This is straight out of the camera except to re-size to post. Originally I posted the ISO as 25,600 and that is incorrect. I was on H1 not H2. The thumbnail attatchment has the wrong ISO on it but it is the same picture.

It looks really good. Could you post a full size piece like a checker square. Would love to see what kind of noise there is at that orbital level of ISO.

Re: D600 at ISO 12,800

I went back and re-shot this at H2 or 25,000 ISO. I though I was on that in the previous shot. Straight out of the camera except to re-size to be able to post it.

I just shot a street concert last night on an art walk here in Topeka, KS and I had to shoot the show at 6400 the whole time with my 85mm f1.8G and they came out amazing. The ISO abilitiy from the D600 is no joke I love it!!!! Thanks for the shots of H1 and H2 I have never tested them before and it is good to see that they are useableble as well. Thanks again.

This is a cropped section of the ISO 25.600 picture in post #3 of this thread. You would normally not use this high of ISO but it looks pretty good considering it's ISO 25,600 and no post processing has been done to it.

I think it looks outstanding and incredibly clean for the ISO it is.

Re: D600 at ISO 12,800

I assume these are jpgs rather than raw. If so won't the camera do high ISO noise reduction. I ask as I only shoot raw and my ISO 3200 images look noisier on my D800 before I process them.

Re: D600 at ISO 12,800

FYI; Technically, there is no such thing as ISO 25,600 (or 12,800 for that matter). ISO 10,000 is as high as the international standard goes at the moment.

I am very concerned about these shots jeff, your dvd collection is almost the same as mine or I mean the kids

Normally I take raw with fine JPEG but in this case these are straight JPEG photos. I don't have any noise reduction turned on in the camera, don't know if it does t automatically. I don't think it does but don't know for sure.

Apparently it does some for anything above ISO 2500. It's on page 218 of the manual. It is only a low amount according to the manual.

Another D600 with Nikon 70-200VR using a Nikon 20E III 2X teleconverter shot handheld at ISO 25,600 shot as JPEG. The longer I have this camera the more I like it!!!!!

These are two night shots with my D600 at ISO25,600 both handheld. Straight out of the camera except for a crop and re-size to be able to post. Shot as JPEG


Boomtown Casino in Biloxi, Ms. shot at about 9:10 PM









































































The second shot is of the Biloxi fishing pier on the left and the Biloxi four lane bridge on the right taken at 9:31 PM

Wonderful photos in here! It's great to see several threads in the D600 section of this website about TAKING PHOTOS with the D600 instead of just "dusty sensors"...

Here are a couple I took the first day I owned my D600 wih the wonderful 50mm 1.8G all at ISO 6400:
