digital camera iso 6400
which is better, ISO 1600 vs 6400?
I’m looking to buy a new digital camera, and I’m trying to make sure I get a good quality one for my price range. The two I’m comparing differ mostly in maximum ISO available: 1600 or 6400. What does ISO mean? Which is better for better quality pictures? Thanks for any help you can give.
PS any recommendations for a good camera costing between $150 and $200?
Basically the ISO range is for the speed a camera can take a picture.
When a camera takes a picture it needs to let a certain amount of light into the body of the camera through the lens. The higher the iso (6400) means less light is needed, the shutter stays open for less time.
The offset with this is the quality of the picture. Generally the lower the ISO speed the better the picture quality. Of course it does depend on other factors such as being in focus, absolutely still, which can be difficult without a tripod at very low ISO speeds.
If you are serious photographer then you might use the very high ISO speeds, but non digital camera’s typically had ISO film between 100 and 400 (that should give you a comparison). In other words for general use either of these cameras is fine.
If you are looking for a digital camera also look at the number of mega pixels it can store (take nothing less than 8mb).
Hope this helps.
