Remember this is a vulgarization not a technical approach, even if the information is accurate. As such, it also demonstrate my tendency to promote the Depth of field over anything else.
Old habits die hard and will stay that way for a looooong time.

Just read your ISO post, interesting. It took me back to 1975-80 when I was doing news and magazine photos. I would buy Tri-X in 200 roll lots. I'd run around for weeks, shooting every sort of photos with that Tri-X rated normally at ASA 400, and never a problem! Outdoors, bright light. Indoors, low light. When all was said and done, everything printed (and sold!).
Going with your preferred range of ISO 100-800, I think I will do a little testing with the D5100 (Sony sensor) and might just wind up setting ISO on 400 FOREVER!
Of course it won't matter too much if I'm shooting raw anyway!

You will find the problem even in RAW as this 'number' has to do with the sensor sensitivity to light and sharpness. This what I call 'Brutus' by the way, I am writing about it presently.

Just read your dissertation on sensors, Wolf.
I should probably go across the street and see if I can find the spot my camera landed...someone else may want it!
Thanks...a bunch.

I generally have my ISO set at 400 and forget about it. Have found no noise issues with the D7000 but I'd rather leave the ISO alone and adjust aperature and shutter to the subject. Adjusting the ISO is a last resort(perhaps I'm just lazy). Occasionally I've dropped to ISO 200 but cannot remember ever going lower. By the way, I was a real fan of Kodak's 25 and 64 films in my old film cameras.
