Larry, how do you manage to get steady photos while you dance? The focus assist really IS like a real assistant; i.e., you can sometimes let it do your work for you, but if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. As for the pics, I can't tell much because the sizes are quite small on your Flickr page, but I would be happy to be getting that quality at ISO3200. This one, for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3818423996/in/set-72157622030236980/ looks very clean. High ISO looks crap when you pixel peep, there is no way around that, but photographs are either viewed small on the internet or are printed on 8x12 at the largest (in general). In both cases your high ISO shots look good. Although I haven't seen an 8x12 print of the above photo, I'd be willing to bet it *will* look good.
