I afraid that my hands are not as steady as they once were and that creates problems for me hand holding my camera. I have been working at ISO100 unless in poor light levels and have not been terribly pleased with the results.
Yesterday I got thinking about the 50D and it's high ISO settings and saw some pretty good examples of what could be done at the higher levels. I decided to try the various ISO levels on my 20D and must admit to being very pleased with the results. The attached pictures are fairly randomly selected and completely un-PP'd except for converting from RAW to JPEG and resizing to allow them to be posted on here. I think that once these shots have been PP'd they will be pretty decent. The lens was my Canon 100-400 IS L. I think in future I will be working much more in these higher ISOs. Obviously this is a very subjective test rather than any attempt to be scientific.
