I think it is common when you push it to high ISO, the contrast do reduce and the colour looks a little wash out on A-100.

You can somehow "repair" it on Photoshop if you shoot RAW and get the exposure right as much as you can.

What I would do is, if you do have to shoot ISO1600, I do think it is very dark and you may think about using it as B&W mode.

With 7D, when I used it at ISO3200, all I shoot is B&W images and they looks beautiful. Matter of fact, I won't use B&W images on anything less than ISO1600 on my A-700 now.

ISO 1600 on A-700 is clean (to me anyway) if shoot correctly. I love traditional darkroom method in digital as I would shoot at ISO400 but its 1 stop under and pull process to get more grainy shots like what we use to do it with Kodak Tri-X film and it works beautifully.

Noise on sensor is a good thing.. so enjoy it and create images which suit that and you will feel rewarded by the noise.

To me, ISO1600 on A100 is useless, I never go more than 400.
Normally 100& 200. 400 in case of no choice.
