In my opinion the D80 at 1600 ISO is more than capable of providing
excellent results, as shown in the above article.

I think your choice of an actual subject rather than a 'test card' is a good
one, it is true to say RAW format files would give a better indication, but
your jpegs pretty much speak for themselves.
In conditions where high sensitivity is a must, most modern DSLRs will
perform well at ISO1600, but I think you have shown that the grain structure
on files produced from the D80 is more like film than most other DSLRs
currently available.

I think it's a very good, capable camera that will make its owners very
happy.

I'm very happy with the high ISO performance (as can be seen in the
sample pics).
