High ISO performance has much to do with whether you shoot in raw or jpeg, and what software you use to process the image. Here is a shot with a D300 at ISO 2800, shot in raw and processed in Nikon Capture NX2:

Below is a chart that while no means complete, will give you some idea as to when resolution starts to become "diffraction limited". The first portion compares the various sizes of sensors all with 16MP resolution. Then there are comparisons of differing resolutions within a given sensor size...

I am pretty impressed with the new FX 35mm f/1.8:

I still have my 1977 black F2AS with MD-2 motor drive and MF-3 auto-stop back; the first year of the DP-12 AS finder and my first year as a working pro. It still sees a roll, or two, of Tri-X per month. Balconies, Daytona Beach, FL Nikon F2AS, AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8 IF-ED Nikkor Copyright © 2013...

Depending upon your definition of "affordable", the new Nikon Coolpix A produces DSLR quality images (it uses the sensor out of the D7000). The sensor combined with a fixed focal length lens (28mm equivalent), the ability to record in raw, full range of exposure modes (P, S, A & M), AF or MF and...
