How many times in the last year has any of you needed to shoot at ISO 25,000 or even 12,500? Except for VERY specialized applications, the performance at those speeds are irrelevant other then for theoretical nitpicking. Focusing on performance in that range and making buying decisions based on that is like paying $50,000 for a stereo system because it produces sound frequencies that are even too high for a dog to here.
I dont shoot professionally at ISO 25,000 or higher, but yes I do appreciate the great results modern sensors can give me when I need to make a shot at 3200, 6400 or even 12,800 ISO. Older sensors couldn't give me usable shots at those ISOs before, but now I can go there if absolutely necessary and use less supplemental lighting. Cheers
