It's been years since I've been to the Blackburn rink - probably 15 or more. I feel old just thinking about it... I think what you say is completely right - if I had terrible light at Cov then I'd have no hesitation in cranking the ISO up. Luckily I can shoot at 2500 and it's pretty...

Sorry - misread your reply (long day!). I read it that you were asking why I'd posted those ISO 3200 pics here instead of in the sports section. iPhone screen + tired = bad combination. Oh and all of our players have that healthy glow... It's the air in Coventry that does it.

How about because I never shoot at 6400 or 12800 and was replying to a specific question about ISP comparisons in this forum?

It's funny you should say that.... (I don't!). I'm shooting another hockey game on Sat. I'll crank the ISO up during warm up and take some.

No, sorry. I can take a few samples in the garden tomorrow, if that helps. I'd rarely go higher than 1600 on the mk III. I'd rate 2500 on the mk IV as better than that, noise wise.

Sorry Rob - I actually did take some pics at ISO 3200, but forgot to post them. Here you go - they look fine at web resolution, but you can see a little noise creeping in. Still perfectly useable for my website stuff, and newspapers. Mark.

I only very briefly tried 3200 indoors and it looked as though it introduced a little noise. Not much, but enough to be noticeable. I don't have a huge amount of time between hockey games finishing and having to get photos to the press, so tried to find settings which were the best balance of...

I shoot ice hockey, so your requirements will be quite similar I'd imagine. Whichever way you look at it, you'll need an f/2.8 (or quicker) lens. That's the only way to get the shutter speeds you'll need to capture moving skaters under arena lighting. If you'll be shooting at the NIC, you're...

I upgraded 2 weeks ago. To answer your questions: - 1. I shoot indoor ice hockey. I'd go to ISO 1600 on the mk III, and now use 2500 on the mk IV, with no difference in noise. 2. This surprised me. I was expecting better high ISO performance, but the improvement in auto focus tracking...
