I hope that lack of concentration on high ISO doesn't mean it will get worse, just that it won't get any better.

I just shot a few ISO 16000 (hi.3) photos last weekend and would be comfortable printing them at 11x14. Most of the dog sports stuff is 8x10 and smaller with the exception of collages.

Portraits are another ball of wax, and I lust after the "almost medium format" of the D3X.
