New Believe it or not
with the digital SLRs you can actually set the "film speed". There is an ISO setting on mine from ISO 100 to 1600 (up to 3000 with a firmware upgrade). Just like with film, the higher the ISO, the grainier the picture. You also get all the control if you want it of the shutter speed and aperture so you get creative control of the DoF/stop motion.

I took a photography class in high school, but that was over 20 years ago; so it's time for me to relearn everything :)

New The Pentax I bought allows ISO settings too.
As well as shutter speed and so on.

The one I bought has so much crap in it, even I'll never use all of it.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
