#1 - ISO 3200 (click on image to view full size)

 

#2 - ISO 4000 (click on image to view full size)

 

#3 - ISO 5000 (click on image to view full size)

 

#4 - ISO 6400 (click on image to view full image)

 

I would say the ISO 6400 is pretty usable for web especially when we need to resize the photo. I don't see any drop in sharpness which is good.

My new baby

Got myself a new Point and Shoot (PnS) recently. It is the Canon G9.

Well it's not the latest Canon G10 model. However, I have done some checking, and I don't found much difference and I like the button on this much more. The exposure dial on the left is kinda redundant in the G10, i prefer the G9.

My friends thought I'm crazy for getting a PnS when I already have DSLR. Here's a photo of my new baby.
