Thanks for the info. I did wonder where they blue/green light was coming from. It does do a great job of outlining the vein detail in his ear.

Awesome shot Dmitri! Love that little critter - and a perfect feel in that shot for his secrecy and nocturnal behavior...definitely a great use for high ISO.
And thank you for the look and comments too!

Actually, most of these shots are using center-weighted metering, and with a little negative EV dialed in to avoid burning the highlights. Sony's center-weighted metering for me is one of the most reliable and most accurate of their metering modes.
Depends of course on viewing proximity...but in a normal 8x10 print the noise would be essentially invisible...if you went with a large print up to about 15" x 20", the noise could likely be detected, mostly in the midtones, on close inspection...but standing back a few feet to view it would once again be mostly undetectable.
What I really enjoy about high ISO on the A6000 so far is the retention of detail, the 24MP which gives lots of leeway for resizing and cropping on high ISO shots while still retaining good noise structure and detail, and the color fidelity and dynamic range which still look pretty good and strong even at very high ISO levels, where some of my past cameras lost their color richness and dynamic range even by ISO6400.
Thank you.

They probably could...but in honesty, I'd still buy the A6000 - I prefer to have the 24MP for when I need all of them, and as I go to higher ISOs, I can do the scaling myself as needed. It makes the camera more versatile for me as a mixed use - I can go from birding where the cropping is necessary to nighttime high ISO, where the extra room for scaling and NR give me better results.

+1 Exactly the reason why the A7R is much more appealing than the A7S, for stills anyway.

Thank you. Indeed, I shot all of these in JPG, and all are unedited, other than the resize or crops.

Very fun zackiedawg. Thank you for the photos. The ghost bride is really spooky.
Would using an A7s with a fast lens be cheating?

Those are very good. Have you tried Multi Frame Noise Reduction? I'm getting sharp results with it in very low light and the alignment engine is very smart.

Well it would certainly make things much much easier!
When I was shooting the Haunted Mansion ride, I was riding with a friend who was shooting with a 1D MkIII Canon and an F1.4 lens...it was much easier for him!

All the time - in fact, the first thread I posted of Disney trip shots, a week or so ago, were of just that - shots taken handheld with MFNR at night:
Disney Night Scenes - A6000 High ISO & MFNR
Unfortunately, it doesn't always work when you're in motion though - although none of these rides are lightning fast, you're still moving past scenes at a mile an hour or two, and changing angle and perspective, so I don't think in most cases MFNR would blend well.
