Yes, I have been a little disappointed with the noise levels starting at around ISO 400 in the D90. Sometimes you can get away with not running any noise reduction software on the images, but it just depends. At ISO 800 it's pretty noticeable. I really was hoping for better quality in the D90 since it was the latest mid-range DLSR from Nikon and is pretty much brand new.
The D700 was in the cards until the stock market decided to flop last Sept!!!!! Hubby told me it was going to be a surprise but then it didn't work out. Major bummer... almost wish I didn't know that it was a possibility! But... maybe it will still happen... sometime.... in the next few months because that kind of ISO range would be wonderful for not only weddings, but all of the babies, kiddos, and families I shoot. The only downside to the full-frame cameras (from what I can tell) is that you really need at least 2-3 lenses to get the range of my 18-200mm (which I love). And those FX lenses aren't cheap. I can still use the 18-200mm on the D700, but it takes it down to like 5 megapixels. Any ideas on best method of attack to solve some of the above mentioned issues?
