Down at 200. And that image is cropped and scaled down considerably. I'm impressed with the sensor's capability with tonal range. I've not done any gray scale "tests" but believe sensor capability now achieves parity with film, maybe even surpasses. I'd not be hesitant about quality of images WRT crop-sensors, low light situations with astronomical ISO settings aside.

Coming from you, I appreciate the compliment.That umbrella has a lot of wrap around to get light on your ear. Or was there a white wall stage right? Regardless, nice lighting.
Thank you. As said earlier, still learning the sensor's capabilities.

My guess is you won't see noise until ISO 1600 or higher. I read the 7500 has the same sensor as the D500. So your shot was well within the "comfort zone" of the settings.
Digital passed film at least a decade ago in the 35mm format if you had the cash. I have compared my prints to my 11×14 portfolio. Using the same lenses across media, digital is a lot crisper. 8×10 film still probably holds the crown. Way cheaper to scale a piece of film up.

One of the things I did do with the ISO settings was to make 1600 as a "limit" when in the automatic mode.
As mentioned before, the tonal range these current sensors can record is impressive. I'm sure I'd need some fill lighting to get the same results as the shot above if using film.
At that point in time I'd completely ignored the craft, had no desire to keep up with developments WRT digital photo. Likely would have spent a boatload of cash otherwise. Mitsy had a fixed-lens DSLR Fuji, that served for the "happy snaps" and family record pix.Digital passed film at least a decade ago in the 35mm format if you had the cash.
