A small snippet quote ""They worry more about low-light camera performance than they do finding a compelling subject with a nice background – or finding something to photograph that they are passionate about. To all you who are of the religion of low-light I got news for you. You’re traveling in the wrong direction. As photographers we WANT light. We look for it, chase it, pray for it, beg for it, and when necessary make it. We don’t try to shoot a black cat in a black barn at night when the moon is obscured by clouds. Worship the light. Don’t obsess over low-light camera performance. Go find a nicely-lit scene and any $500 camera will make a great image if it’s operated by someone who knows what to look for and how to execute."
Any cheap camera can do good photographs, and chasing low light camera performance won't improve your photography. There are a lot more things to pay more attention to."

I am trying to use his Blog as a mentor to (re) affirm my beliefs..... anyway, I like this guy......

A good high ISO performance isn't necessarily about shooting black cats in a black barn. It can also be needed in relatively good light if you want to use a very fast shutterspeed (to freeze motion), and even more so if you want a decent DoF at the same time.

too true, i recently bought a cam with great Hi ISO performance, and with the grim dark weather this time of year in the UK it really does make a difference from getting a decent shot to just getting anything.
