My ultra low-light test shot at 12800 ISO!

[vd853]

I just got my 60D today, so the first thing I did was go to the 12800 ISO option! so I took this picture while maintain a 1/50 shutter. Focus was on the red bell. The only light that was hitting it was my monitor which was about 2 meters away. Afterwards I did some heavy sharpening, even heavier noise reduction, and some color balance. Thus the result. Figure somebody might want to see it, I couldn't find a similar picture when I was researching this awesome camera.

Camera Canon EOS 60D
Exposure 0.02 sec (1/50)
Aperture f/1.4
Focal Length 50 mm

Not bad for 12800!

 

[Sachphotography]

WOW not to bad at all.

 

[SoulXquisite]

that picture looks great for that high ISO

If you wanted to TEST it ... don't do these things to it ....

Afterwards I did some heavy sharpening, even heavier noise reduction, and some color balance.

I feel this would have been a better post if an unedited photo was posted. Let's face it, post processing editing can do miracles a on a bad photo.

Yep, let us see how much detail was lost in the original by sharpening the photo.

I'll have to see how the D7000's ISO 25000 is later...

Please post a before and after!

So this was a test of your processing software...

I was like some people and saw the result and was about to post a reply until I read all of the other replies and notice he edited it.

That looks terrible.

Yeah, there's not alot of noise at this size, but there's even less detail.
