Aside from the noise, is there any downside to setting your max !SO t0 25600?

To Len Philpot, I notice from your gear list that you are shooting a T8i.

So am I. Is there anything I should know about in setting a max ISO of 25600?

My T8i handles 12800 exceedingly well, I think. I wonder how it would handle twice that amount. Any degradation that you know about?

Steve, another downside is decreased dynamic range: low ISOs have the best dynamic range.

I can't help with your specific camera (t8i) questions.

My 7D only goes up to ISO 12800, and that's pretty terrible. But, your t8i is bound to be worlds better IQ wise - it's 10 years younger!
