I had a Nikon D1 for a while and it is a great camera for certain types of light. For any low light and/or high ISO (i.e. > 200) the software can't interpret the captured bits the same way as ancient technology the likes of Tri-X. Same problem for exposures > 1 sec. This is the real issue and IMHO no one has really solved it yet. The new Canon D30 does slightly better in these situations and the high end Kodak cameras (DCSnnn) are probably some of the best. The bottom line is that currently even a $30K Kodak DCS body can't match an M6/Noct/TMAX3200 in low light.
