I'm curious whether shooting at 640 vs. 1250 (which if it is underexposing by a stop is essentially 640 also) shows any difference.I've printed up to 2500 in color, though they were smallish prints with lots of black area (club interior). Unless really pushed by the light, I don't go above 640 and 95% of the time am on 320 -- which I've printed up to 24x36" just fine with some uprezzing. I've found 1250 underexposed one stop and fixed in post better than 2500 though.
what are you shooting? what are you printing? what size? colour? b/w?OK, guys and gals, I am ready to get a M8. Can't afford a M9 just yet. What is the highest ISO useable on the M8 for printing? Any advice? Thanks

because regardless of these 640 remarks and the like, and all this crowing about the M9 being better at high ISO (mind you, if i'd just shelled out $7,000, i'm sure i'd be saying the same thing), it's all bollocks.
if you're not a pixel peeper, you can print at as high an ISO as the camera can give you -- if you truly need to go that high. and it's true of just about any camera out there.
Well, not quite. The M9 *is* better at high ISO. Not only is there less noise, it also appears to have less colour noise and more luminance noise in proportion.what are you shooting? what are you printing? what size? colour? b/w?

Yes, and yes.Well, not quite. The M9 *is* better at high ISO. Not only is there less noise, it also appears to have less colour noise and more luminance noise in proportion.
True about printing sizes and so on.
