Photography: Using High ISO with Low Lighting
PopPhoto has a helpful article on using high ISO settings with some newer cameras that reduce a lot of the noise you get with higher ISO:
Although low-light performance has been improving incrementally across the board for the past few years, it has soared recently. ISO 3200 and even 6400 is increasingly common, digital noise shows up less, and higher megapixel counts let you apply noise reduction either in the camera or in postprocessing while maintaining plenty of sharpness in your images. No tripod? You can handhold to 1/8 sec or slower.
