FWIW, I agree with you about the high-ISO noise being not as bad as high-ISO grain.Yes, you'll see some digital noise at ISO 800, but it's generally less noticeable than the grain of an ISO 800 color negative film. I try to avoid shooting at 1600, although again I think the noise is less obtrusive than the grain of an ISO 1600 film.
I shoot at 800 and 1600 a *lot.*
