Well, absolute zero has always been 0°K with me...

And if you're going to be reducing the image for print then you
eliminate a lot of the high ISO noise. Several of the better cameras
(and not just the Nikon Rich worships) do quite well at 3200 or even
6400.

Does absolute zero actually exists as a temperature anywhere, I heard
that matter wouldn't exists when it reach zero, so the coldest temperature
is above 0K but only a fraction.
