Image quality, ISO 12800

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the noise reduction at the camera's highest sensitivity. While you can certainly tell that it's boosted, the image printed well at 13x19 inches. The light source was an LED light, which routinely causes problems for automatic white balance algorithms, hence the golden cast.

(A55; 1/50 sec, f5.6, ISO 12,800, centerweighted metering, AWB, 28-75mm f2.8 lens at 75mm, standard Creative Style)
