The 7D is very usable at higher ISO's too, so that should not be a concern.

Not aimed specifically at BC but everyone replying to the above comment, we might want to define how high an ISO, and what's considered usable.
Personally, I'm generally happy with the output in normal use up to ISO3200, although of course the resolution is impacted by then compared to lower ISO. Another issue to watch out for is the reduced dynamic range at higher ISO, which makes it too easy to blow highlights. I rarely use ISO6400, as I see that as nature's way of telling me I should be going home when light drops that low.
