    yeah, I always thought that too. But when I read the article it was very convincing. I can't seem to find it but I'll keep looking.

    Anyway, I'm shooting with a Canon 300d. It works great for creatives or model testing but I'd certainly rent out a D1 or something for any commercial jobs.

    I find that the highest ISO setting I can use is 200, and then I have to make sure I'm bang on with my exposure (which I'm ususally not so . . .) otherwise I get nasty noise. Drives me nuts. I used to love shooting high ISO films and getting a beautiful grain.

    That's the only thing about digital that I don't like better than film.

    But, with that said, adding grain artificially in Photoshop tends to be a good solution for getting the grainy look and/or covering up noise. It's just a pain in the ass to have to go through that second step.

    What is it that you shoot with?
