I just photographed an entire event at 6400 and wow!
For the event I just photographed last weekend I rented a D600 so I could pump the ISO a bit and ended up shooting the whole thing at 6400. Call me impressed, I was able to shoot with an average shutter speed of 1/400th at f5.6 and I'm normally only able to get about 1/125th at ISO 1600 which can result in some blurry stuff since the artists move around a lot. At 1/400th my images are sharp as hell even when they were running around and noise isn't bad either, even at 1/1.
My contract prevents me from posting images but lets just say I am now ready to sell my old gear to get something from the current generation IMHO it's very much worth it.

Why so serious?
blinden wrote: I'll probably get the D600. I can't think of any must haves that the D800 offers and I like to go with as light a body as possible with the best glass I can get because I often go hours without a chance to set my camera down and they all get heavy after a bit.
The D800 has a better AF system without all the AF points bunched in the centre. The D600's AF system is very similar to the D7000's (which I owned for a while). Trust me it's not 1/2 as good as the D800's. Also the max shutter speed is 1/8000 (not 1/4000). The D600 sheds dust particles from the shutter too. Causing dust to build up on the sensor really fast.
The D800 is a better camera is many ways (trust me I had a D800 and a D800e at the same time). I'd guess it would match or better the D600 in high iso too (when you resize the D800 files down to the same size as the D600 files).
As for high ISO.... I have a 1Dx bro. You want to talk high ISO?!
Still go check out this video:
I'm watching it myself now. Maybe I'm wrong.
A friend and I didn't another nighttime gig. He has a D600. We both got some great stuff.
