It’s Official: ISO 51,200 is the New 6400

ISO 6400 is a place where photographers often don't want to or need to go beyond. But the truth is that for many years now, ISO levels beyond that have been good. The Sony a7s was the first to venture into nuclear high ISO levels -- though at the cost of a lot of details.

Since we reviewed that camera a decade ago, cameras with more megapixels have become more capable at high ISO levels. I remember the insane details that the Leica SL2 pulled out at ISO 6400 yet remained very clean. But these days, we can safely go beyond that if all we're doing is keeping the images on screens. .
