More ISO than you can shake a stick at

Nikon D3S

Nikon D3S

Nikon’s new camera, the D3S (to come out next month) is reported to be capable of an ISO of 102,400.

I don’t know a lot about the technicalities of cameras, but that sounds a little excessive to me. My camera does about 1600 ISO.

Not sure what you would do with that, and at $5200 I am unlikely to find out for myself.  I suspect the real benefit will not be when shooting at such settings, but the reduced graininess when usnig more sensible settings.  A bit like having a really powerful amp, not so you can turn it all the way up but to get better sound quality at normal levels.
