/ NIKON D 700 TEST AT HIGH ISO SPEEDS

ISO 6400

The good photographs always are due to the person behind the camera. Although it can help, especially for highly technical subjects, is a fallacy that it is essential to have the more advanced and expensive camera to get the best pictures. I have worked side by side with great photographers that, sometimes, used amateur cameras. With the advent of the digital technology, changes are happening very fast. But in the history of Photography technological advances and improvements that have been surfacing became indispensable. In the fifties it was the telemeter incorporated into the cameras; in the sixties there was the photometers measuring the light through the lenses and the electronic flash units; in the seventies it was the automatic exposure; in the eighties the autofocus; in the nineties the zooms replaced the fixed lenses; in this century, the digital replaced the film, and one of the major developments could be the amazing quality with which new cameras like the Nikon D3 and the Nikon D 700, take photographs at high sensibilities .

These are some comparative tests to sensibilities of 200, 1,600, 3,200 and 6,400 ISO using a Nikon D 700. The lens used was a Nikkor 50mm f: 1.8.
