To be honest, I almost never shoot in super-high ISO situations. I don't like the noise I see at 400, much less any higher. The T8i seems to do a decent job re: noise (light-years better than my ancient Rebel XT) but it's about average I guess compared to other modern cameras.

What are you shooting that requires such a high ISO?

Len,

I use auto ISO because I'm not near smart enough or talented enough to even hazard a guess where my ISO should be.

Generally, I shoot in aperture priority with still subjects, and shutter priority with moving subjects and let the camera decide what my ISO should be. I'm not talented enough to be shooting in manual yet. Maybe I'll try a fixed aperture and a fixed ISO, and let the camera work out the shutter speed, and if it gets too low, I'll increase the ISO.

Here;s one I took indoors and the camera selected an ISO of 12800.

There was a fair amount of light on the subject.

I thought it did pretty well.
