Why do you need ISO1600 when you can have lenses at f/2.4-f/3.5 aperture
at focal lengths over 550mm on a P&S camera? The whole camera for less
price than a fixed focal-length DSLR lens alone. That's 2-3 EV stops more
aperture than any lenses at those focal-lengths for any DSLR on earth. So
only ISO 200-400 is needed for the same images where ISO1600-3200 would be
required on a DSLR. Some P&S cameras are exceptionally clean at ISOs of 200
and 400.
With the new back-lit CMOS sensors coming on the scene, and only being
implemented in P&S cameras, there's a good chance that even the tiny
sensors will have clean images of ISO1600 and more.
Here's test images from a Fuji Finepix F30 P&S 1/1.7" sensor camera at
ISO800. This is without the new back-lit CMOS sensors in this year's
cameras.

Or this Fuji Finepix F31d at ISO800.

In all my years of professional photography I've never needed ISOs above
200, 400 rarely. Are you going to tell us that you're that lame of a lowly
snapshooter where you need that much of an ISO crutch? What a pity.
Then too with the slapping mirror and shutter in all DSLR cameras which
causes camera-shake at any shutter speed, with any lens, then P&S cameras
can even produce sharper images when hand-held. Not one DSLR can attain
full resolution with any lens at any shutter speed due to mirror and
shutter slap. Unless you use mirror lock-up and shutter-delay on a hefty
tripod. Even then you are limited by shutter-slap. You have to leave the
shutter open and then expose your subject in a totally dark room with an
off-camera flash in order to attain a situation with zero camera shake from
the DSLR's own last-century mechanical contraptions. This crippling
limitation is true for each and every DSLR on earth and will never change
until they do away with both the mirror and focal-plane shutter. You know,
just like this century's designs that every P&S camera on earth already has
for more than a decade now.
Keep reaching for excuses, you ignorant troll. And every time that you do
I'll be here to post proof in opposition to all your inexperienced
opinions, that you are just that, nothing but an ignorant and inexperienced
troll. In fact I quite like it when you spew your ignorance and examples of
inexperience. It gives me yet another chance to show the world how much
better that P&S cameras are today compared to last-century's lame and
crippled DSLR designs.
