DK on the a99

How right you are. I imagine for most people these, along with color rendition and dynamic range are more important than high iso performance. If I had a choice between a camera that was good only to iso1600 and had superior exposure and focus accuracy vs a camera that was not as good with focus and exposure yet was outstanding to iso 12800 I'll take better exposure and focusing any day.
