Any of you jerks use a digital SLR? What's your pick for low-light, no flash pics?

No, no I don't, which you know. Shoot ISO400 and about 1/15 shutter speed. ish...
I think that's what that servo photo below was shot ats.

Edit: 1/50th. f2.something

but I shot a bunch of Shrugs with no flash at about 1/15 - 1/20. Do tricks like assasins do. Breath out while you shoot, squeeze, don't press. shit like that.

d00d, you are talking to a master of low-light. You wanna know why they call me 'tripod'?

I'm particularly niggled by the way non-DSLR digitals I've used produce a lot of 'noise' at high ISO (400-800). It's especially noticeable when you print from the files. Since it's easier to stop down the ISO than compromise depth of field and risk (unintended) motion blur, I'm erring towards a CCD that reduces noise as far as possible. Nikon D200s look like the business, a bit pricy though. Anyone got one, or one of the others in that Nikon range?

Ah, that's what you meant by "pick". Be more specific goddamit!
My A700 is noisy like a mofo at IS0800.

I got a cheapie Nikon D50 kit. It'll do for now. Seems to handle its high ISOs pretty well.
