...or a similar DSLR with super high sensitivity (ISO up to 102,400)?

I can think of a couple of really fun applications for the camera's low light capabilities, and the graininess would actually lend itself to the 'grittiness' of what I have in mind... but I'd like to hear from anyone who has experienced this feature as to their impressions.

Thanks!

quick note, i don't think the 1Ds Mk IV is out yet, nor has it yet been confirmed. (rumoured 32MP...!!)

Right... and correction, I meant to say 1d mark IV which is slated to be released after the winter olympics. My interest is cooling off a bit on that one -- will probably wait to see what the 1Ds version looks like.

btw, if you want to take a look at some results from D3s at several high ISO settings, please take a look here

i went out at night just to try out the cam after batteries were charged for 14hrs the first time... the photos aren't any good, but you can see the quality of photos under really ugly orange streetlamp light.

I sincerely wish I could have tried my 1DmkIV by now but mine is still on order and every week it is postponed...

I just got mine in Singapore and have tried a few shots which you see my gallery. Just love this camera and I have bought the new 100mm macro f/2.8L lens and trying it out.

Sorry thought it was the 1D Mk4.

You were correct -- I mistakenly put an "s" in the thread title
