Hi Andy,
An interesting test. The D3 high ISO performance is getting to become a bit of a legend.
Read an interesting article recently, regarding Allsport/Getty Sports photographer Bob Martin, apparently switching back over to Nikon D3's for this very reason...However, he did state that it wasn't that the New Canon isn't good, it's just that in his view it's not quite there with really high ISO ratings.
I find it difficult to get my head around the mental block of dialling up ISO ratings that would've seen grain like golf balls on film stock not so long ago...and still getting decent results....another reason why digital rocks!!
(although I did take some shots on my F5 with FP4 at the weekend...for old timesake!!!)
