Don. I have not tried the istD at 1600 yet,but, i shot my friend's retirement party a while ago with live groups playing, and shot some at 1600 with the D2H with the intent to B&W them. They few i didi worked out well and my friend printed them out and said the noise was no worse than if i shot B&W film at that speed. http://www.caughtinmotion.com/paw/nuraw1.jpg Go for it:-) Dave
