p.1 #1 · 1Ds3: king of high iso?


Here's a 1Ds3 set at iso 3200 and pushed 2 stops, so an effective speed of 12800. It has had a slight dust and scratches applied in photoshop:

Although it's a bit streaky in the shadows, I like the way at the bottom of the guitar it still resolves the 3 black lines around the edge. I would love to see what it can do with good noise reduction software, but I'm too mean to buy any for the moment, as these results look highly printable to me. It's amazing how on screen noise disappears in prints, and the detail just comes through. I think 1ds3 detail is still fairly impressive at 12800. Maybe the D3 is just the prince of high iso, not the king. It would be fun to see a no punches pulled comparison.

Impressive. I also like the way it resolves the relatively low contrast features of the guitarist's hand, finger nails and the pick. It's interesting to see how the DOF varies by comparing the broken string with those still in use on the neck of the guitar.

Very impressive indeed, I didn't know Frodo could play guitar

Funny stuff!

Impressive image as well. The 1Ds Mark III would complement my 1D Mark III well, other than the fact that the three of us would have to live in the doghouse.

Isn't the 1Ds III so clean at high ISO due to the fact it can't focus and everything is smeared buttery smooth

Hahaha! That gave me a good laugh

The images are very clean indeed! I wonder how it fares compared to the D3.

A good example of what 14 bit images are capable of.

When you say "pushed" to 12800, do you mean that in post processing, you moved the exposure 2 stops brighter?

I had always wondered what it did to "push" the exposure in post.

That's exactly what he means. We all used to "push" Tri-X two stops to ASA 1600 whenever we needed to.

Not just he plays it, he plays it with a broken string

Quote from a popular (and nearby) Nikon forum.

the 1dsmk3 is not very good above 800, wheras the D3 is usable upto 6400 without problems.

That's amazing, now if only the Canon G9 could do that at half the ISO of what you used.
What focal length was that at?

Very sweet indeed. My dream camera. It should be down to my price range in about 2 years when the 1DsIV comes out. Till then I can only dream .....

Honestly, there is so much BS on gears forums, good grief...I wonder why I bother.

I do thank the OP for sharing REAL photos from a REAL camera they actually own and use, and from someone that actually knows something about photography...kinda refreshing. But then again, who can believe thier own eyes? I'd rather have someone tell me then actually see a photo. More photos, less talk.

Even ISO 400 is too much noise if you expose wrongly

Lookin' good. Your image doesn't really have any bad color noise, and it has great detail, so I honestly don't mind the luminance noise, especially at that ISO.

Most NR software would probably make the image lose some of that "crispy" sharp look to it, so I'd keep it the way it is. You have a winner.
