The Z7's tend to get relegated into the "poor at higher ISO" camp of cameras. For my uses, I remain fairly impressed with them at up to 25,000. I thought I'd share this shot for two reasons. First is it's taken at ISO 6400, but has a 2/3rds exposure bump, light saturation and clarity bumps and a 1-stop vignette added, all of which increase the base noise. Second is it's been processed 100% in C1 including C1's NR, except for final web sizing to 2048 px which I still prefer to do in PS. This image was shot indoors in a room with only North-window lighting about 20 feet away, so it was pretty dim light. It is hand-held with the 70-200S at 125th/f8 and the lens also has my screw-in 77mm 2-element +1.8 close-up diopter attached for this closer focus -- obviously its VR is pretty good. It is the un-cropped full-frame image. C&C welcome.
