I always try to shoot in ISO 100. You have to give that up for 200 if you use HTP. Is it worth the loss of th 100 ISO?

You're not actually "losing ISO 100". When you shoot at ISO 2oo (HTP), the sensor is set to ISO 100 while the metering and exposure are set for an exposure index of 200. As a result, the raw capture is approximately one stop lower than normal, giving one stop of additional "headroom" for highlights. Does the reduced exposure mean that you get more noise in the shadows? Yes, and Canon is quite clear about it (see page 157 of the 40D manual). Very true about the noise in the shadows which is why I only use HTP when I need it.

I heard this same thing about the XT/XTi. Any proof or further insight? FOR SALE/TRADE: Canon EF 28-70 f/2.8L | Looking for a 1D Mark III? Look here!
