I think if you shoot at the meter reading with the D, it can be noisy at 800 or above. If you plus a half stop of exposure comp, the D is extremely noise free. As I said before, it's not as noisy as my co- worker's 20D. But maybe she's underexposing. Exposure seems to be the key, at least with the Pentax. Paul On Oct 1, 2006, at 9:00 PM, Christian wrote:
