Ok, I'm in the market for my first DSLR (upgrade from 35 mm SLR and
Nikon 5700).
I've been looking at reviews on the Sony A100, Nikon D80/D200 and
Canon 30D.
These are both 1600 ISO (see reviews for more detailed information
about conditions etc).

What a HUGE difference !!!
I see so many people say only if you shoot high ISO is it a concern.
Unless your shooting with lights in a studio can't any one use high
ISO at times?
If you can get 2 (or so) stops lower on every lens and get the same
picture, why not take it? You'll pay a small fortune for 2 stops on a
lens.
Are there other compromises in going higher ISO (even in the low
range) besides noise. Do you lose color accuracy etc.
I really favor Nikon for feel and operation. But this ISO noise has me
leaning towards canon CMOS. I also see numerous comments that Canon IS
is better than Nikon VR. So that to me is worth probably another stop.
So the canon seems to have like a 3 stop advantage over Nikon.
I have no investment in lens (my 35mm was a Pentax and I'd never use
those boat anchor manual focus lens again).
There is little dispute that Canon's CMOS produces the cleanest ISO images.
I wouldn't dispute, however, that the D200 has a build that I wish Canon
would emulate.
