Canon 800D - ISO12800 - At Night

Here's a photo from my Canon T7i (800D) camera at ISO12800. There's a little noise but it should be fine for small prints or resized etc. It was taken hand-held and resized with IrfanView with no extra special post processing to clean up noise etc.

Do you have samples of pictures that you are having problems with at high ISO? Is this not good enough until you get a full frame camera?

A little edit: What I have done in the past for pictures like this, is use a slower shutter speed to reduce the ISO levels and I'll open up the aperture. I'll reduce the focal length to help with the depth of field. Being without a tripod, I have found setting the camera on top of a platform works well or bracing the camera against a solid object like a tree. I only showed this picture as an example of high ISO. But there are numerous techniques to improve your night-time photography without spending tons of extra money on more expensive gear.
