 * Comment - Amazing at thumb, but considerably noisy at full size. What's with the ISO 2500? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:57, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * ISO 2500 is a logical choice for in vivo macro shot (i.e. low aperture, relatively high speed shot without flash). --PierreSelim (talk) 11:11, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I use an EOS 60D, and with my 100mm macro lens (in Indonesia, admittedly) in full sun at F13 I can get 1/160 seconds at much less than ISO 2500 (ISO 500 is generally enough for 1/200). Unless this caterpillar was in some darned dark shade, ISO 2500 may have been overkill. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:45, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It really depends where you take your picture just an example around 5pm in France when the sun is still quite harsh thoses days, I'm at ISO 200 f/4 1/160s. Just do the math to get to f/10 or f/14. --PierreSelim (talk) 16:06, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I accept that. But what is the benefit of not downsampling? There's no detail lost if we knock this down 10%, or even 15%. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:41, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
