Hmmm...very interesting. I love how terms of light are always expressed with buckets & water. It gives me that ah-ha moment.

I completely agree with megapixel fatigue. It's why I went with the D60 oppose to the D90, I thought when am I going to need photos that big. However I also went with it because it has lower ISO capabilities.

He doesn't address the noise factor. For me higher ISO means more noise? Maybe that's just my problem?

I find myself shooting more and more with a tripod at 100 ISO and 400 max with hand held (switch to shutter speed for night).

Sometimes I think I need to take a photo class with actual film to get the full understanding.

I think he says it best with "And like any other spec, just because the ISO ratings go higher doesn't mean low-light performance will be better. Remember, "more" isn't more better." LOL

I think I'll have to reread that one for better digestion of all that photo science. TFS
