It's much less bad. I'm amazed. Also, it handles tungsten and other white balance settings *much* better than film (that is, unfiltered film; *with* a filter, there *is* no fast film :-)). It's still fairly noisy, don't get me wrong. Even with my Fuji S2, going over 800 is making some significant tradeoffs. But when that's the light and flash isn't appropriate, I'm getting better results with digital than with film. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/>,<http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
