FZ200 at ISO 2000

Hi,

On friday, I was in Istanbul and had a chance to shoot some photos at high ISO values.

Here are the photos (untouched, just resized to 1200x900) and a crop before resized (100% crop)..

THe photos are obviously noisy, but if you look at the details, they are preserved mostly. The scene was really dark, the shutter speed was usually around 1/10, 1/15 at f2.8 (and iso2000).. But if you ask me, FZ200 coped with this darkness very well.. As usual, I printed one of the photos at 8x10 inch, and it looks very good.

May be my standards are really low, as I read messages saying even 800 ISO is not usable but I find high iso values are satisfactory.

Here are the photos:
