Still trying to understand the post and the responses...

ISO 6400 grain, the f/4 may have worked but is not Ideal.

Is this about sharpness, lighting, DOF...the D5?

Not paying attention to the eye composure thing I'm not seeing anything that could not have happened with a D3400 and a kit lens.

If I'm wrong, someone please point out the strength of this example...trying to be objective.

Ok, fair question.
Many events do NOT allow flash photography during the events,
so YES it is very important to use such high ISO in certain situations, but also need
to be of high quality enough to published for newspapers and in some cases magazines.
My term of real world shooting is such as covering a major sporting event without flash and sometimes
dimly lit may not be enough to help keep that image strong enough for print.
Thats where the best lens in lowlight and much improved ISO rated camera bodies comes into play.

I had a D3400 and no way would an image look this good at 6400 with a kit lens. Not without 5 passes through Noiseless

I use sometimes three off camera flash at Rock events and 5D mk4 and really enjoy the low light focus over the mk3... but you are right for most cases flash is a no no. The front lighting looks plentiful and strong enough to get a good shot maybe at even at a lower ISO.

I have shot a few shows where I have to wait for a brief flash of light or nearly nothing and have fared well even at ISO 12500. It can be a real challenge if the band lights from the rear.

Hope all the criticism has a positive after the dust settles.

You're welcome my friend. As mentioned earlier, I used to shoot a lot of our church plays and songfests and I appreciate the difficulty of getting a great image from a spotlit stage. Somewhere on my iPhone, I had the settings in Notes for a starting point at manual exposure.

By the way, Noiseless is a Macphun program that is the best one I have seen so far at removing noise and keeping details. It is for Mac.

With all the negativity for the composure don't you have other examples from the same show?

...or am I dragging this further than it needs to?

Not necessarily. The Sony A99ii is a full frame, 12 frames-per-second, 42 megapixel camera. The number of pixels on the image sensor (twice as many as in the D5) didn't slow it down.

Yes, the Sony can shoot at 12 frames per second, but for how long. The D550 can shoot at 12 frames per second in raw for 250 frames without stopping to buffer. Try doing that with your Sony.
