I just did a photoshoot of my daughters newborn whilst still in hospital.Yeaahh I'm a granddad! The room was quite dark with no lights on except ambient light from the corridor and perhaps a few dim ones next room across.

I tried to shoot with my trusty Canon 40D but it was way too dim and I wasn't able to use live view.

My D800E live view lit up beautifully at ISO6400 and above and took photos like it was brightly lit!

I am amazed by these new breed see in the dark low noise high ISO megaimaging machines.

I took a photo of flames from a fire a few weeks back in the dark at high ISO and I had to shoot 1/8000th of a second to get a correct exposure! Wow. The flames are frozen in motion with a jet black background.

Incredible technology.
