12. ISO 160 And 800, Longer Exposure Activated / Deactivated
These two images are symptomatic of the Kodak DCS pro SLR/n. On one side you see an image captured at ISO 160 in longer exposure mode, and on the other the same image at the same sensitivity but without longer exposure mode. You can see the very strong increase in noise without longer exposure mode.

The same is true for these two images, both shot at ISO 800. The enormous level of noise can be seen in either case, and is even more unacceptable without longer exposure mode.

Good Afternoon:
I just wanted to take the time to comment on such an excellent and thorough review. IMHO this is probably the finest review I have seen on the 14n and one which is unbiased and clearly demonstrates a qualitative and in-depth on all aspects of the camera, with ample references to other cameras for comparison. I look forward to reading your other reviews, and if the rest are as good as this one, you will certainly make the job of choosing equipment a much simpler task.
Regards,
John Cassidy
