Best Shooting Mode in Canon

[NeilA330]

Generally though, my moto is that if I find myself needing to go beyond iso200, it's time to pack up and go home (aviation photography only).

Aww, whats the matter, Canon don't make cameras that can shoot ISO3200??

[z740]

They do. The professional profesional line atleast. Besides, who cares about Nikon anyways?

Will and James, thanks for clearing up the ISO thing for me.

No, my 40D has iso 3200, but thanks for asking.

I was looking through some Nikon bodies on dpreview(yes, I am ashamed of myself) and saw that the D3 goes all the way up to 25600. Why in the world would you use such a high ISO? I can only imagine the noise produced.

If you shoot Canon, you will never know . I've used mine up to 12,600 for inside stuff no problem and the noise is pretty close to what a canon 1D/DS mkIII produces at ISO 3200. You get smoked by Nikon in that department now. And thats the D3, not the D3x .

So don't get too smart.

What does "witin" mean! Shoot f8 and -1/3 in bright light to keep the whites from blowing out at you! What is a Nikon?
It was buggin' me all morning. I had to post this to help the missguided that believe there are cameras other than Canon! Regards Hernan

Actually I think Canon is a Japan company... I actually had a question close to this because I have the Canon 400D (hope to get the 40D soon) but what is the best setting to shoot night shots?

Canon vs Nikon again

Well to be honest, i came across two fellows recently who had Nikons, we got talking and they had just bought theirs and werent too into the dSLR settings thing.
So, i was teaching them about exposures & ISO as they were doing ISO 400 & the other guy was on an even higher ISO setting in the blaring afternoon sun !!! and they were getting really flushed-out super-over-exposed shots. So i showed em the photos i was getting with my camera & obviously the asked me the settings on my camera & if i could help em with the same settings on theirs.

To be honest the menu clutter was just incredible.
I couldnt figure-out ANYTHING !! (he had a 80D or D80 whatever u call it)

I just wanted to test shoot a few through it though & now here's the good part as i hit the shutter button the sound that the shutter made was oooohh Ammmmazing To be honest i'd switch over to Nikon just to hear that noise. I may struggle with the setting & the menu but i'll figure it out someday.

For the time being though, i'm sticking to my Canon

what is the best setting to shoot night shots?

Aperture as low as possible/Open-up the aperture, ISO 200 to 400, A VERY GOOD TRIPOD & remote shutter switch.

To be honest i'd switch over to Nikon just to hear that noise.

You do not have to switch to Nikon to hear that lovely sound. Try 40D (I think you did) 5D or 1D Series. The shutter sound is just lovely.

For Night shot. I would not set ISO up to 400 in 400D. Max is just ISO 100. Try Tv with time priority from 5 up to 10 secs. Or even Av with f8. After that, read all the info from which Tv or Av your camera has chossen, then use M mode to figure out the best setting. Do not forget to play around with Compensation again.

For Nikon, i love high ISO in D3, Metering in D300, The colourful colours of photos (thought some say it looks not true and nature)
