^^ One main reason I'm getting a 1D X. After needing to push my 5DII up to H2 earlier this month, I'll take all the improvement in ISO performance I can get.

me too :) wish it had more megapixels but hey, cant have everything :)))

You're using H2? Holy crap! What the heck are you shooting?

Hey, how many times I did try to shoot without flash and there was not enough light for my 5d mark ii, so 51k iso or even H2 at times could mean huge difference in getting the shoot at all :) just amazed with the high iso, hope I can get my camera now finaly after waiting ethernity :)))))

I've been using 6400 regularly for shooting some live music performances where the lighting is actually decent (well, it's constant and doesn't really change, although it is mixed) to keep my shutter speed up to 1/80-1/120 and I still feel I'm losing a bit too much fine detail. Granted that's peeping at 1:1 or 1:2 (or is it 2:1 for 1/2 size?), but even outputting at 1200px long edge I'd like it to be a touch sharper.
I guess it is just true, a shot you wouldn't otherwise have gotten is a good shot even if it's noisy or not as much detail. Heck, I should try going to 12800 or 25600 tonight and just convert to B&W, might give me some interesting shots. Although I don't really need to be at >=1/200 since she's not a wild crazy rock performer. Singer/piano player, so pretty static most of the time.
Mt Spokane Photography:
I'd like to see a apples to apples comparison with the Nikon D3s, which is the current best low light DSLR.
It is certainly very good, and at least 1/2 stop better than the 5D MK III, which is what we expected. At the very highest ISO's, it does pull away, in the same manner that the 5D MK III pulls ahead the MK II at ISO 25600.
I'm also interested in DR. After buying a D800 and seeing the DR at low ISO, it makes a very noticible difference in challenging light situations, I really was suprised at the difference. However, at very high ISO, it loses out to the 5D MK III on DR.
