During my granddaughter's first easter egg hunt I accidentally made a 
couple of exposures at 1/1000 sec where the meter indicated something 
closer to 1/100 sec, so this was about 3 stops underexposed.  The DMR 
was set at ISO 400 making these photos exposed at about EI 3200.  I 
pushed during processing to compensate using ACR bundled with Adobe 
Photoshop Elements 3.0 which as I understand it doesn't do a great job 
at noise reduction.  No other noise reduction software was used, so 
consider this a worst-case scenario.

Keep in mind I'm making no claims w.r.t. the artistic merit or my 
focussing skill in this picture; you can see that her coat's zipper and 
embroidery is in the plane of focus, not her eyes.  I'm also making no 
claims w.r.t. the usability of this photo from a noise point of view, 
that's up to each of us to decide individually.  Just the facts, ma'am.
