Cute alert: Fox & Kit

I've shot with the 1DX for over two years and now over the last year shoot with MK2's and you should, even at ISO8000 be getting better results. Get the exposure right and as much data within the Histogram as you can. Avoid lightening the image as detail/IQ will drop away, images do require some NR either within the software you use, or Third Party and obviously heavy cropping will not help. I've shot at ISO25K and it's really surprising the results and even been having discussion where you expand to ISO50K and you will be amazed at the imagery that can be achieved and ultimately the IQ.

Keep pushing, it's a great way to learn.
