Wonderful family shots as usual Antonio.
1600 is just scratching the surface with this sensor, though. Here are a couple of family shots from last Christmas shot at 8000 and 12,800 respectively. No NR on these either. At 100% you can definitely see the noise, but it's not an issue at any typical viewing size (up to 12x18" prints - probably larger). But to me the bigger thing with this sensor is how good the DR and color accuracy/richness stays as the ISO climbs. Once you downsample a D750 or D810 shot, the high ISO noise isn't much different with those cameras, but the colors really start to suffer in comparison (not that they're BAD - just not as good!). I shot these in very low light with the 24-120 f4, so the relatively slow aperture required a pretty high ISO to maintain a decent shutter speed. And for how I used them, I didn't feel the need to use any NR on either of these...
