TL2 highest usable ISO question please

Now that the TL2 firmware fix is out, my GAS is acting up again. I have a quick question for anyone lucky enough to have a TL2 already...

 

What's the highest ISO that you are comfortable to set as your upper everyday Auto ISO limit on the TL2? And, how high would you go with ISO in a pinch?

 

For me, I set 3200 as my Auto ISO limit on my T, and will use 6400 in a pinch (with noise reduction in PP). (I must say that 6400 ISO with NR continues to very pleasantly surprise me in low light.)

 

The TL series, with its outstanding but slow zooms, become a different tool entirely with improved "real world" high ISO handling. To be able to use those wide, std, and tele zooms in low light (with higher ISO) would make the zooms - and the TL2 - a different proposition..

 

I absolutely love my T and am pondering the improvement that the TL2 might be in this area.

 

Thanks in advance for taking a moment to read and respond. Cheers.

If you read Jono Slack's review he advises:

 

 

'The new sensor has really improved everything. Most of the time I’ve been putting a limit of 6400 on the Auto ISO, but going up to 12,500 produces perfectly usable images; I didn’t go much higher than this because I didn’t need to. I’ll leave the full ISO comparisons to others, but my instinct is that it’s nearly a 2 stop advantage over the TL.'

Thanks. The TL2 improvements, here and with AF speed will really enhance the utility of this system overall. Exciting!
