I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice about shooting in low light when your photos start to get too noisy at around ISO 800. That is generally not a big issue when i have a tripod and am not shooting something that moves. But when shooting people or animals for instance, it's a whole different ball game.

A fast lens will help, many lens are 2.8 or "faster" 1.4 or 1.2 are even better, and some cameras handle low light better than other.
I have to admit the Nikon D3 is pretty damm good even at high iso (check out my black and whites in the b+w section) they were shot at 12.800 iso (from memory)
I have compared the Canon 5d2 and it's good, but still not quite as good as the Nikon IMHO.
Another cheaper option is to shoot high ISO and use a noise reduction software in the post process, both lightroom and photoshops raw noise reduction has improved a lot in the newer versions, but personally I still prefere Noiseware pro for those occasions I need it.

Noiseware offers software solutions to this including quite a good free version.

That doesnt mean you have to stop shooting when the light starts to disappear or avoid low-light photography altogether, though; things just get a bit trickier and you have to know how to set your camera up to make the most of the failing light. Great tips !
