High ISO

Digital ISO is a lie, it's just amplification, the loss in quality is pretty bad, today even good cameras have a native ISO of only 400.
DESU better quality can be achieved with sme pushed proceced delta-1600

Never. Currently anything over 12.8k is just digital amp anyway, so you may as well just shoot that and push in post if you really need to, and if you accidentally clip highlights you're not bringing them back.

Matrix metering is a meme. I was in P mode.

That's what you say, however, one day you find yourself using that off-hand snapshit at ISO25000 because you've got it and that other camera guy didn't because he was push shy.

My fooji takes a couple of seconds to process each H-mode frame though :(

Why not use a flash instead?

absolutely never. thats not an option on my camera. who actually uses 12800 with fast primes tho? concert photogs maybe. Astro too?

Worst light conditions I encountered (only two red spots, one aimed at ceiling, one at wall, liberal use of smoke machine - shooting from with a mosh pit at my back) still allowed me to work at 12800 with a 50 f1.8 lens.

Astro is not about high ISO. We usually find the sweet spot of a sensor with high gain with reasonable DR left (around 10 EV). So on a Canon sensor it is at ISO 800, on Nikon and Pentax it is at ISO 1600.
QE is still boss when it comes to astro, so the older Toshiba 16MP sensor Nikon and Pentax are well sought after.
