A German photo forum asked me to do some night pictures at high ISO.

Here they are

Sorry , I wasn't aware the photos were full resolution .

I know one should not expect much from ISO 6400 but the full sizes & night photo shows quite the noise we are used to - maybe I am wrong.

With the sensor size increasing from 12 to 16 Mp , it should be considered a good job if they could keep the ISO performance at D90 & D300 levels .

With all respect, you have the possibility to click on my pictures to see them in 100% directly from the camera.

In latest post, I published some night pictures. Just to make it possible for you to see the noise in dark parts of an image.

Thanks Arlekint for the posts ; let me just add a point . D7000 performance surely looks good ; however , images of this size can be misleading especially if taken at not so low light .

Best way to test performance is to look at actually 1:1 crops - we are unable to see much detail in 72 dpi screens when it the image is so small .

Also it is a fact that high ISO does not form as much on relatively lit scenes and forms mostly on darker parts of low light images .Taking these photos in a near dark room - where you would really need the high ISO - might end up in different results .
Apologies in advance - if the room shots were taken was already dark enough ( and it just looks well lit in images ) :-)

Wow, the 12800 is much more usable than i had thought!

Its almost as good as 1600 on my D60, which i am forced to use quite often (night sports) and certainly better than 3200 for me.

thanks for the samples

In yesterdays test i used JPG-format directly in the camera.
I had noise reduction set to "Normal".

I this pictures a set noise reduction i mode "Off"

Yes, they are

Today I got my D7000 demo camera.

The first I did was to test the noise at different ISO.

Here is a noise test from ISO 100 to ISO 25600
