Is there a camera that is sharp at high ISOs?

I can live with this under those conditions any day!

No issues with either noise or detail here! Great shot!

I'm liking my new Nikon D500 in low light. It cost about 2K. I shoot amateur ice hockey in atrocious lighting. In aperture or shutter priority, at 10 fps--With its EV, AF, and Auto ISO, the hockey moms (and dads) love the shots I've been getting. Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 works like a charm.

The champ is the Sony A7S or S II. Unfortunately you will lose AF with Nikon lenses, as well as lens stabilization. The S II will still give you 3 axis stabilization, but probably limited to about 2 stops effectiveness, depending on the lens.

Look at high ISO performance, anti flicker capability and a frame rate you need. I'm not a Nikon shooter but the Canon 1Dx MkII does very well in these areas of performance. If you wish to stay Nikon look at the Nikon camera with these features. If you have the money to spend you I'll not be disappointed.

See this topic regarding Canon choices a few days ago at: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-421584-1.html
I posted some photos from a Canon 6D at sky-high ISO's. It does a fantastic job, and has been called the "second-best full frame camera ever", although it is not good at fast-moving objects and does not have a built-in flash. However - even though you use Nikon - with your budget, and this camera being about $1100 if you get a Canon certified refurbished version, you would have money left over for some really nice Canon glass!

The Sony a7sii is at the top of the list for high ISO, shoot 4k video and is very sharp. Check out the reviews and watch some videos on you tube.

I have used the D500 at High ISO and able to reduce the Noise easily with Neat Image without softening

The Df is certainly a contender.

Download a trial copy of DxO Optics Pro Elite and try processing your photo with Optics Pro's "Prime" noise reduction feature. I've seen it remove noise from photo's taken with ISO in the range of 100,000--without degrading sharpness. It costs much less than a new camera.
