We just got back from the California Disneyland.

I got so many keepers. But I was most surprised by D90's performance in low light. We were in this show about Aladdin. The stage was only partially and intermittently lit, and we were sitting in the balcony. I couldnt use the 50mm 1.8 since I needed to zoom in. So all these pics are from the 18-105mm at f/5.6 I believe at max zoom with VR ON and very high ISOs.. between 2800 and 3200.

Most of these are 100% crops since the zoom reach was not enough to get to individual characters so I had to crop them. To my relatively inexperienced eyes, these look like decently noise-suppressed images.

Enjoy!

I'm impressed. Incredibly good, noise-free shots for such lighting conditions, at least compared to my Rebel XT.

Thanks Steve.

Like I said, I am still relatively inexperienced about DSLRs. I am looking for comments on what else could have helped in such a situation except for a fast zoom lens OR being in the front rows?

I can see already that most of the fine details go away because of high ISO Noise Reduction... so even high ISOs may not always be usable.
