I find that the K-5II has pretty much equivalent noise characteristics
to the *ist-Ds at 800 ISO somewhere between 3200 and 6400, depending on
the subject lighting. Noise can be pretty bad in deep shadows but if
the scene is evenly lighted you can even push a bit beyond 6400 and get
just amazing results compared to what was possible just a few years ago.

Yes, I did mean 800! I am essentially comparing performance with
the ist-D, the smoothness of the K5 at 800 is impressive, and I
don't want to push the ISO too high unnecessarily, being really happy
with the results I'm currently getting. No doubt the shot will come
along where I will find higher ISO capability really needed, and will
use it then. I tried a shot at 12800 at home, and it was noisy -
perhaps I need to have the time to experiment more, but on a trip of
a lifetime like this I ain't taking no chances!

Did you mean 800 or 8000? At 800 you'd be hard pressed to tell the
difference from 100.
