I went with 3200 because I wanted to reach the darker corners of the coffee shop without changing the ISO. But I also wanted to reaffirm my initial impressions regarding high ISO performance with the camera. The lady with the legs -- the first url below -- was in a fairly dark spot. I think the exposure was f4.5 at 1/100th or so. And the focal length was 70mm, so it was a logical choice, although I probably could have gotten away with ISO 1600. The mom and baby were in pretty good light. I think the exposure was something like f4.5 at 1/300th. (I'm not on my work computer now, so I can't be sure, but that's in the ballpark.)
