Nice one, I do agree that older cameras are still able to produce
great images at high ISO, still superior to film I believe.
My 2004-vintage Canon EOS 1D MkII produced great images at ISO3200 with
zero post-processing. This High-ISO and High0MegaPixel stuff is just
marketing,
since nobody cares anymore about REAL benefits like bigger viewfinders
and smaller,
better lenses.
