All the more reason to have fast primes in front of a digital back I say!  
Short shutter speeds = less noise.  Give me a full-frame
sensor but make mine with very large pixels so I can shoot in low light, in a 
Canon body for $600.  I'll wait, thank you.  Until
then, it's Fuji 800 pushed one stop and a MiJ on a tripod-mounted OM.
