OMG! poor idiots that use high ISO in dark and difficult conditions!!!
Why *else* would you boost ISO up to 6400? If you can take a tripod, if you have good lighting, if you can use your flash... of *course* you won't need to boost ISO! The whole point of high ISO if for those situations when you *can't*.
And of *course* I compared the cameras side by side. And not being an old pro, I came here precisely because I compared them. I wanted more info than a side-by-side could offer. If the side-by-side had given me enough reasons to choose one over the other, then we wouldn't be having this wonderful discussion.
Thanks for those who added info, but for those that want to convince me that high ISO noise is a non-important factor when choosing a body, well, please try to convince someone else. As I said in the first post and in following ones, high ISO noise is important for *me*. If it's not important for you, well good for you.
