If the answer to this question is in any of my books I cant find it. Does the iso on my d70s go below 200? If it does, how do I change it.
Thanks |

Same goes for the Pentax dSLR's.

| II was asking because I had seen a few photos that said iso 50 in my net browsing. Wondered what I was missing is all :) |

From the looks of you portfolio, it doesn't look like you're missing much ! The shots don't contain much "noise" imo.

| Ohhhh ISO is the noise. Lesson from my first week here, shoot at 100 or 200 the higher the iso the higher the noise. I forgot. Thanks :) |

Actually the real reason we have higher ISO is for higher sensor sensitivity towards light - enabling us to use faster shutter speeds. The higher noise is just a by-product or side effect and not the main intention. |

| It was also my understanding that when using film, typically lower iso films were a bit better than higher iso films because of something in the way film was made. You don't get that problem with digital. |

| i think for digital cameras the ISO is relative, that is a canon 100 might be equivalent to a nikon 200... am I correct? |

not exactly, but you are right on the relative part.
If you read some in-depth reviews, they have a comparison on the "actual" ISO rating per rated. |

yes you do- niose is noise digital or film. the film has actual layers of whatever the stuff is that is in the emulsion and captures the image. (god- I'm so technical!) But the 1600 ISO has lots of these specks in the emulsion and therefore captures more light & creates a grainy effect. low ISO= less grain. (much like noise!) :0) |
