That is a good point. I must admit my total lack of knowledge here, I have
no clue as of how the chip manufacturers decide the mimimal ISO they
support. If it is indeed true that the ones Olympus uses have the least
noise at 100, then there is of course no reason to go below that. What made
me thinking about this is the fact that sometimes you find yourself in very
brigth situations where it might be good to use lower ISO, as you would use
slower film. But I guess ND filters can also be used.
Thanks for the info!
