There has to be a compromise, although the electronics are always improving.
What are you planning to use the camera for? 90+% of my shots will be in well lit environments, so I don't need the ultimate low light performance. I'll get annoyed when taking shots of my kids at indoor concerts that I can't just ramp it up to ISO6400 or higher without concern, but I'll still get a memory of the event.
If it's pretty good at 3200, I'll be a happy camper. Beyond that is really just for shooting shots in a coal mine at midnight!
