Also the OP is using a 5D which reports low noise at ISO's of 1600 so the OP must be shooting in some really low light situations.
So to try clarify what I meant. To be able to shoot at lower ISO's (less chance of noise and better quality of images) in low light you need to get light to your sensor for longer which is achieved by slowing your shutter down, widening your aperture will let more light in so helping keep the shutter speeds down.
I mean this as a question and not in defense or obnoxious but are there any situations where someone with a higher spec camera would be shooting moving subjects, flash not permitted and in a low enough light that requires more than say 800 ISO?

Hi LaPistola,
I understand completely what you trying to say. My concern was that to a beginner (and let's not forget that's the forum we're in) it might be interpreted exactly as you wrote it: Low shutter speeds and wide apertures = High quality, and that isn't necessarily the case.
I know my response was long-winded, but I felt it was important to get the message across regarding interactivity of the various controls at our disposal.
The answer to your question is simply; Yes, possibly. This is why we have such control - to enable us to capture whatever we want under all manner of conditions.
