Canon EOS 1D Mark IV - 1080p, ISO 12800

I think a great example of what you're saying is the cinematography of Sven Nykvist, double Oscar winning DP of most of Ingmar Bergman's films. Nykvist was an absolute master of controlling available light, and using minimal lighting and filtration to get stunning results, a style that changed Cinema actually. Though some may view his style as being dated, or quaint perhaps today.

As to Nocturne, what bothers me most about the film is that the whole hype was presented like it was the camera that made the film what it was. Like all you have to do is buy this camera, and all your shots will look this good. That's an absolutely absurd notion, but people buy into it anyway.

I'm still frustrated because I bought many cases of Budwesier, and none of the girls from the commercials ever showed up.
 
I have to step in once people start badmouthing the King :)

Bud, just like the camera, isn't going to bring the party to you...it just makes the one you've got look better!
