That's a function of 'film speed'.

Modern digital cameras can adjust to provide the illusion of different

speeds.

Right, but the higher ISO settings yield more noisy images.

They do with film as well...

Well, not 'noise' but you know what I mean...

Grainy?

Yep.

People crank up their digital SLR to 600 ASA and complain about noise.

Have they ever looked at a 600 ASA photograph taken on film?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
