I can tell you that the results from this method are absolutely stunning; I saw 8x10 pictures that were absolutely indistinguishable from film, no kidding. There were a series of pics that more than proved to me that this is the wave of the future, in terms of digital capture...I've seen no CCD that approaches this level of quality. The final proof was the last picture in the collection, a full night shot of a bridge...the bridge was the ONLY thing illuminated. When I tell you there was NO NOISE, I mean, from a distance of one inch, my eye could detect NO NOISE. Period. Overall, I've seen no pictures from any other camera under $20,000. that could compete with the D30 in available light...and BTW, that is NOT subjective, it is the irrefutable truth. No noise is no noise. dpreview.com biz.yahoo.com imec.be Message 14148608 monster .
