I pushed my new camera to the limit last night with its low light performance and I must say, I was amazed. A year ago there is no way I would even think of doing this with my old D2x, and even with my D90 I wouldn't think about it. But with the amazing sensor that the D700 has it made this possible.. The Broken Neck, one of the most dark, smelly, DIY, awesome venue here in Austin, TX is where it was, lit by only 4 (low wattage) lights from about 10ft above the stage. I went out with only one lens and no flash, and came home happy, not something I plan to do regularly but it's nice to know this body can handle it. All of these were shot at ISO 6400, which to me seem like the quality of about ISO 1600ish on the Nikon D90... Nikon D700 FTW! Iron Age released a record, Mammoth Grinder, and Power Trip also payed, there was another band who opened but I missed them and don't recall there name. Anyway, here are the pictures from each set: Power Trip:
