I Red-Lined my D600 tonight

[480sparky]

I never bought the D600 with the intention of cranking up the ISO. In almost a year of ownership, I think I've gone as high as 3200.

Until tonight. My cousin plays music at local gigs, so I decided to stop by and see what the D600 can do in low light. I figured I might have to go to 6400.

BZZZT! The lighting was so dismal, I cranked her all the way up to Hi2.0, and even then, I was shooting 1/60 at f/2.8. But I gotta admit, 25,600 after some noise reduction doesn't look all that bad, considering.

Definitely not worthy of a Rolling Stone cover, but better than I expected.

Not bad at all at that size. I think B/W would be even more pleasing. You should try a B/W version.

Looks pretty good. Nice shot.

Quite impressive to me. Wonder how much down sampling would improve it?

Looks like a winner!

Worthy respect to the D600.

I run my D600 to ISO6400 all the time shooting gym sports...I LOVE this camera!!!

I'm not surprised in the least what these cameras can do. My dated D700 handled 6400 ISO very well. I say crank it up!,

Pretty phenomenal. I remember exposures beyond 800 from my D40 started looking sketchy; high ISO from these full-frame digital cameras is amazing. The really cool thing is the quality of noise is improving appreciably as well.
