Whats it like in low light?

Those flower photos were the first photos I took with the camera. I'm sure I'll be able to do better with it.

I have uploaded some new photos into the gallery from this morning. we were playing with the dynamic b&w mode at very low shutter speeds. Click on the photo and then click more info and you'll see some at speeds down to 1/10th.

With it's fast lens and image stabilisation this camera rocks at slow handheld stuff.

Very good @ ISO 800

Sorry, but the red flowers were taken with my D80 at iso 800 for comparison. Click on the more info link and it has the camera manufacturer. You can also download the original to see all the gory detail.

I have to agree they are impressive images. I really like the D80 and think it's a great camera.

However I like the full frame cameras with big resolution. I don't think that mega res is generally that useful, but I think I'd enjoy it for big landscapes.

Does anyone know with these big res cameras, if you tell them to shoot at lower res does it compromise the results in any way other than just resolution?

Sorry! I missed that one. It's quite grainy close in but it suits the photo.
