Say what ?

The photo is very noisy at ISO 500 - how is ISO 1600 going to help ?

I don't think that higher ISO will yield better/sharper/crisper images - it seems likely to have the opposite effect IMO.

The OP just needs more light, lower ISO, slightly faster shutter speed, using the RAW (instead of JPEG files), and better processing.

Here's a cropped photo from today' ISO 1600. Check the noise, found it?

Happy new year.

I didn't say it wasn't possible, but rather suggested that with the OP's current settings and processing there was very noticeable noise at ISO 500 which was affecting IQ, so moving to ISO 1600 was not likely to improve things.

Given the correct settings, lighting, use of RAW (instead of OOC JPEG) and advanced processing & noise reduction, I am sure that a relatively noise free image is possible - but the OP possibly has a number of other things to get a handle on before whacking the ISO up.
