But there is consensus on using 1250 instead of 1000 right? And somebody mentioned that 160 on the 40D was "as good as it gets [with 'tween ISOs]."
Which 'tweener ISOs are less bad and which ones should be avoided? I realize it depends upon the camera. Personally I am particularly curious about the 40D as it's my main body for now.
One more question - is any of this relevant to amateur photography? We all want to maximize our body/lens' potential, get the best images we can, but are the differences so minute that it takes 100% views on 24" displays to notice them? Or will a photo shot at one of the especially bad 'tweeners, printed 8x10, look obviously worse than the same photo shot at a native ISO?
Thanks guys!
