photo5 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Here are some images I shot today with my new D300. Theses were shot as JPG Fine. I have samples from ISO 100 to ISO 6400. <P> Enjoy - http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00NSwt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_s.3 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I wonder if you could add a few more captions specifying the ISO used? You did this for a few of your shots. I can't find ISO info under the ?photo info? button, perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. Shots look good so far - I miss Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Sorry! I just did. I posted too soon. You are looking in the right place, when the camera shoots ISO 100 or ISO 6400 it doesn't communicate the ISO in EXIF info. Thanks for your help!

mike_s.3 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Some of the shots that you post have a big dynamic range and it looks like the camera is handling the exposure pretty well. Also, several of these shots would have undoubtedly produced the dreaded banding effect on my version of the D200. I don't see any hint of that. On your 2nd page the high ISO exposures are very good. Noise levels are much improved over what I would expect from the D200 especially in the shadow areas. Since I also shoot with a 5D I am really interested to see how the D300 holds up in comparison. Honestly I think that in terms of noise the D300 and 5D would be very close. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studor13 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Dave, the main thing that I am interested is in how the D300 compares at ISO 200 to the D200 at ISO 100 - both at native ISOs. I believe you have the D80 but as I understand it the sensors for both the D200 and the D80 are more or less the same. Also, I'm starting to believe that the 18-70DX uses a bit of trickery to make things look sharper, so perhaps tests on say the 50mm f1.8 would be great.

s_nathan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 What lens did you shoot with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Andy, I agree the 50mm 1.8 would be a better lens to test with, but the only 50mm AI lens I own is the Series E, which though a very good lens, probably not as good as the more recent AF-D version. And the 18-70mm is a pretty sharp zoom lens as can be seen in the photos! I'll do some shooting this weekend with the 50mm 1.8 unless someone beats me to it. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharris Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Looks pretty good Dave but I think you should send the body to me so I can test it in the snow for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthuryeo Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 David, These looked like Seattle waterfront. I wonder if the high contrast light has to do with it but the images do, indeed, have very crisp edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Arthur, You are right, this is the Coleman Ferry Terminal in downtown Seattle. It's a 5 minute walk from my work. I like to go there when it's sunny outside, the waterfront is always a refreshing place to be. This weekend I will be shooting interior photos in a dim room, requested by Shun, and will post sometime on Sunday evening. I'll be interested to see how they hold up to the same photos taken recently with my D80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_beaver1 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Dave, How did you meter these? It seems like the dark objects are ending up kind of grey. I'd like to see richer blacks. Is this the auto meter correcting??? Thanks for showing these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
