Does knowing if this site is 100% correct or incorrect really matter in the grand scheme of things? For me, that is a big fat no; it does not matter. What does matter is the maximum acceptable noise I am willing to accept; and that is directly related to the maximum ISO I am willing to shoot at.
By changing aperture/exposure time (not ISO) we can control the amount of light hitting the sensor..
That is all I need to know about my digital camera's ISO.

Common sense is common knowledge; not everyone's common knowledge is the same. Explanation: A farmer runs circle around the city dweller on his farm. The city dweller likewise runs circles around the farmer in a downtown environment. Neither are idiots, their common knowledge ( sense ) is just different.

Technically the entire section is flawed especially the bit about maxing out shutter and aperture.....
These sorts of articles are written for the lowest common denominator the "one D ten T" reader where it is near impossible to write a complex topic answer in plain english.
So why circle out just the ISO part when the whole section is just as bad?

The internet giveth and the internet taketh away. That is the lesson you need to learn. Don't believe everything you see on the internet, including stuff you read here on dpr.

The stupid thing is that if you jump out of pedantic dpr mode it is not to far wrong.... a higher iso for a fixed aperture and shutter combination will result in a brighter jpg sooc with increased noise and you shouldn't raise it til you have the widest aperture and slowest shutter ie maxed out you can use at that time.The internet giveth and the internet taketh away.

Not very far from what is said.

To their credit, they didn't say anything about the amount of light hitting the sensor, just the amount of light the camera would record.

Anyway, does it matter? Technical debates aside, if someone new to photography understands that much about ISO, it's probably going to be enough for them to take photos.

Actually, you should raise as much as possible right before you clip the highlights under your scenario.

That website is full of bad information. Have a look at this article on ISO, and for a laugh read the comment section below:

Nothing confused and inaccurate were published here. Just simple explanation of ISO for beginners. This is not MIT faculty of theoretical physic.
and that's the issue really..... the dpr elitists demand every single article be aligned with their view of technical accuracy, rather than take it on as a idiots guide that is trying to simplify the story.
Next we will have the anti exposure triangle prophets arrive in force to tell us all that ISO is an invented fallacy.

It is confused and inaccurate. There is a difference between simple, and just plain wrong. Also, the wrong explanation isn't even any easier to understand than the correct one, so what's the point of it?
Maybe it's just me, but I think a website called "Digital Photography School" should at least get the basics right.
Except that's not what they say, is it?

Don't worry about it. As long as beginners understand the camera is more sensitive to light at higher iso but the image looks more grainy it's fine.
"will record", which is totally different to 'will receive', so an interesting take on a timeless DPR classic.

They don't say much; they just do a lot of hand waving.

We can do the same by controlling the ambient lighting.

That's incorrect. The noise isn't related to the ISO setting.What does matter is the maximum acceptable noise I am willing to accept; and that is directly related to the maximum ISO I am willing to shoot at.

The noise won't increase if you keep the shutter speed and aperture value fixed and just increase the ISO. It can even decrease.a higher iso for a fixed aperture and shutter combination will result in a brighter jpg sooc with increased noiseThe internet giveth and the internet taketh away.

As long as beginners understand "the camera is more sensitive to light at higher iso but the image looks more grainy" they get it all wrong, as you do.

And it doesn't matter, because no matter how wrong they are their photos still look the same.
