The quality of the high ISO crops is quite staggering. As NeilL pointed out on the Appraisal board, the high ISO quality of digital far surpasses what was achievable with much lower ISO's with film.
Indeed - though signal to noise ratio is not improving past ISO 4000. And it's signal to noise ratio, not noise per se, which is the important factor to me.
BTW even with the Canon EOS 5D you can get "ISO 12800" by setting expanded ISO range, "high" ISO (3200) and dialling in two stops of correction in Canon's Raw Image tool. I wouldn't reccommend as the results look pretty similar to the Nikon D3 at 25600.
