Hah, me too - only I changed to Delta3200 (@1600) eventually. Well, the
10d is amazing in bad light. Shortly after I got it, I was walking back
from a job and did some handheld night street shots @800 which alerted me
to the potential for seeing in the dark. It has since got me through
several jobs that would have been impossible on colour film without
appalling grain and degraded image or (spit) direct flash. The
post-processing is slow (an overnight Neat Image batch job), but it's one
area where dig outclasses film comprehensively. I know of other photog's
who are equally impressed by the low-light capability of the Nikon D100,
and the Canon 1DS.
