Camera advice

I shot this the other night and it's pretty much as it came out of the camera.

This seems a good time to remind everyone that whether you're shooting at 100 ISO or 12800, its the amount/quality/colour of the light that will determine weather it looks good or not. bwana's shot is a nice example - very high ISO under very good light.

Also, the only thing worse than a noisy high-iso, low/bad-light shot is the same shot with the wrong white balance set.
 
Look I think I am going to look at the nikon what is the replacement of the D7000

The D7100. The D3300 and D5300 use the same sensor if you are prepared to give up some luxuries.
 
How bad can the noise be on these Sony bodies?

Noise, usually being found in the eye of the pixel peeper. ;)
 
Here's a nice exmaple from the 5D3. 1/125, f/5.6, 3200 ISO, RAW imported into Aperture, nothing further done:

A crop from a well lit area:

And two crops from less well lit areas:

Annoyingly, if I had paid attention, I could have dropped the shutter speed, aperture and ISO, and get an even cleaner shot. Maybe even switch to the 24-105L and take advantage of the IS for a much slower shutter. But IIRC I was on the way back from a German pub, and I had a fair bit of Paulaner in me by that stage!
 
Guys tell me what settings to use and what lighting conditions and I will post

The easiest way to compare with the photos posted here might be to set your camera to aperture priority and fixed ISO 3200. Then take some lit indoor shots tonight with the aperture set to f5.6 or wider. No flash.
 
bwana, are those shot as JPEG? How much noise reduction is the camera doing?
A crap load probably - the camera does a better job giving me clean jpgs than I can easily deliver using raw files.
