They look quite soft at 100% on the flickr set but thats probably due to no sharpening etc...

Iso 25800 looks usable for a wedding album

Thanks for sharing Pity we aren't able to see original RAW files yet. These JPG samples shows some significant NR side effects.

Yes they are soft..

Download them and try some sharpening...
I see much more detail after this....

Well all we need is RAW files to make sure how it performs...

looks great @25k. Looking forward to see RAWs.

Took one of the 25,600 ISO snaps and did some NR with Topaz and Nik.... Image is very useable !!!

... well that and something to read the files

From the above blog:

"I have to base my review on JPEG-files as there’s no support for the RAW-files in Lightroom (or any other RAW-converter) yet."

It's doubtful that Canon will release DPP prior to the camera coming out, so we'll just have to wait or hope Adobe is quick to act.

I too find these very soft.. Even though they were shot at F2.8 I would have expected them to be sharper..
Not to mention that they were shot with the 70-200 L II and the 24-70 LII

[Bennymiata]

Considering the high ISO used, I think these shots are amazing!

The shots at 12,800 and 25,600 look as smooth and good as many SLR's at 400-800 ISO.

Looks like you'll be able to get a good shot of a black cat in a coal bin at midnight, without flash!

No wonder the 5D3 doesn't have a built-in flash.
It would rarely need one!

Sorry it took me so long to post, I had to catch my breath and clear my laugh induced watering eyes....
Are we really complaining about the over all sharpness of a full size 25k ISO image?
You do not take a picture at 25k to make a poster, however for the web, magazine, small prints, that is simply amazing and straight out of the camera. I am sure you could tweak the raw to even better results and larger print.

When 12800 ISO are you.... look soft you will hmm?

Exactly.

What they look like at 100% view is less important than what they look like when printed at a size that a magazine uses or that will be in wedding albums.

These are simply stunning. Kudos to Canon for creating a low-light beast. The ISO performance seems similar to the D3s despite having twice the resolution.

[skoobey]

Those sure are some traaashy pictures. 

Sharpness, wb, where have you gone?
