It works well with almost all digital cameras ... when the alternative is
not to take a shot.

Nikon even gives you a setting for it. Nikon D100 has ISO 200 - 1600 and
then it goes over to HI-1 and HI-2, which is basically ISO 1600 with -1
and -2 EV preset. Those who have a D70 without the HI-1 and HI-2 can just
set it by hand and get the same results.

I use this method all the times for sports (ice skating).
