cameras with higher ISOs

Because we can!
Lot's of interesting things happen in dark places, and sometimes using a flash can be obtrusive. Raising the ISO does tend to increase apparent noise. Compared to what I was used to shooting film even the older, cheaper DSLRs do a great job at high ISOs, and the 35mm DSLRs I'm using are fantastic at ISOs that I never thought I'd shoot at. And I don't use much additional noise reduction other than what's available in Adobe Camera Raw. They look pretty good on screen, but even more noise disappears somewhere between pixel peeping and the print.I used to fear going above ISO 400, until I had some large prints made. Confront your fears. Make some test prints to see what you're really getting at ISO 3200. I'm not frightened of 4-digit ISOs once I saw what prints looked like.
Even if you are getting noise you have to decide what is better: a noisy photo or no photo? Go to the library and take a look at one of those Rolling Stone mag books on music photography. Look at how grainy and awful some of those looked. If you can convey some of the emotion, interest, and/or excitement of the scene the viewer will forgive a bit of noise.
