Eric, how are you shooting and processing? Using RAW and the sharpening and noise tools in LR4, I get very clear images at 6400, and pretty clear at 12800, though detail declines as speed increases. The sharpening and noise tools take some reading and practice, but work well.
If you're shooting JPGs, you're pretty much stuck with what the camera gives you.
