Three legged dancing... :-) First time I really gave high ISO a try was this January, when I went North to photograph eagles. On one day I spent close to 3 hours snapping away at ISO 3200 and 1600 at a cooperative goshawk. I thought they looked awful, until a guy with a Nikon D3x back at the cottage commented that when ever he saw the results from the Pentaxes (his buddy had a K10D) he sometimes wondered if the high-end Nikons were worth the money... :-) Personally I found the high-ISO noise of the K20D to be much easier to deal with than the same from K10D. Of course there's room for improvement, but I think the results from K20D is nothing to be ashamed of. When writing "deal with", I mean removing noise in PP. I use NoiseNinja plugin for PS and it does a very fine job most of the time.
