Hi JJ_SO: :-h

"Please, could you do me one favor? Instead of misinterpreting what I wrote to "I can see noise", just stick on the words I actually wrote - not on that what you thought I meant. I never said I can see noise in your pictures. For that they are just too small."

No offense meant and I wasn't talking you being able to see noise in my pics, but generally.

Are you talking about my images in your post above? I didn't shoot anything at 116 sec or 13 sec - the only image with Exif data is the bridge as the first is a stitch and the last I dunno (gone) but was about four seconds as it was held against a lamp post. I can't see any hot pixels, only lights ( :P ) - you will have to help me out there.

No, my bad - I should have said I was comparing two night shots I did just before I posted and was too lazy to upload them - it seems to be common knowledge anyway that even in very long exposures low ISO doesn't make a shot as noisy as higher ISO (even it's only 3 f-stops).

In my pictures I do see some weird pixels but I'm currently not on my computer and will most probably forget to post the samples if I get a message from my dealer that little D7100 is missing a nice new home.

I am struggling with NAS because of the D7100 at the moment......clean ISO6400.....Aaarrgh!

As I already postetd in the D7100 thread: You'd regret to buy the D7100. The D400 will be as clean as the D7100 but feel less plasticky, I'm sure.

Hi Msmoto,

My light meter is right next to my mousepad. I still use it, nearly every day. Old habits, like Bruce Willis, die hard.

My best,

Mike
