As somebody who is interested in working as a documentarist, being able to
get reliable image quality at 100,000+ ISO is something to die for. Think of
it - you could make a record of virtually anything, anywhere, anytime.
To hell with flash, what if ALL photography could be 'available light'?

It simply means the "techies" of the world are in a race and in reality it's
quite meaningless to normal every day picture taking folks. However??? :-)
I'd sure love to have a go shooting at the 100,000 ASA just for the hell of
it to see what one could do without light! I suppose it could be useful
under secretive surveillance situations, but the curiousity is more of
interest than anything in a normal every day use. But I have been known to
be wrong. ;-)
It's the whole digital concept every time we turn around.......... BIGGER IS
BETTER bs!" Practical everday use for most of the folks here? It means
diddly! I could be wrong again because maybe someone is a CIA operative! :-)
Bet nobody ever thought of that one! ;-)
