<p>I am not saying ISO 50 is good.<br />I said it comes in handy.<br />I tested them and ISO 100's picture quality is better than ISO 50, but it looks pretty smooth.<br />Well I know that you can adjust the bightness of the picture with the picture taken with RAW and adjust it further.<br />But there is a difference between taking pictures as way they are only with the camera setting and adjusting the pictures later on ...<br />This is a digital world, and it may be right to adjust the pictures with photoshops and other graphic utilities...<br />But I hope some people know what I am saying.<br />If not, well... it was just my opinion.<br />Thanks.</p>

<p>Is there any news about when Canon will release the new firmware yet ?</p>

<li><strong>ISO 50 is useful if you are shooting with a fast lens and/or slow shutterspeed in daylight.</strong></li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>No, it's not, if all the camera is doing at ISO 50 is telling the meter to overexpose by 1EV at an actual ISO of 100, only to pull it back in software during the RAW conversion.</strong></li>

<li><strong>You could do this yourself by prolonging the exposure at ISO 100 by 1EV, then doing a -1EV adjustment in the RAW converter.</strong></li>

<li><strong></strong></li>

<li><strong>Unless the camera's doing something else, which, it seems, it is not, according to Bernie's results.</strong></li>

</ul>

<p><strong>Are you kidding me ? Have you ever tried to use F1.2 or F1.4 in broad daylight extremely bright ?</strong><br /><strong>you are mensioning "- 1.0 EV" to make it happened.</strong><br /><strong>But what if the shutter speed already hit the maximum shutter speed with the aperture you desired @ ISO 100 ? </strong><strong>And it is still over exposed ?</strong><br /><strong>All you can do is make the aperture smaller than you desired. </strong><strong>(meaning that you have to use F2.0 instead of F1.4 to have "-1 EV" but the effect you you want to have is @ F1.4 ... it is going to make a huge difference.)</strong><br>

<strong>But all you need is just 1/3 ~ 1 stop below to have the apreture you desired and you do not have your ND Filter with you ?</strong><br /><strong>ISO 50 becomes really handy with this kind of situation.</strong></p>

<p>Just buy and enjoy the pictures.<br />If Canon responded like that, it is the firmware problem, not the sensor.<br />Buy the camera and update the firmware when it becomes available.<br />Black dots don't show up unless it is blown up to 100% or really large print.<br /><a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/slrs/5d-mark-ii/black-pixels.htm">http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/slrs/5d-mark-ii/black-pixels.htm</a><br />Check his opinion about black dots. I agree with him and I really like the image quality of this product.</p>
