Re using your photo's - it's pretty standard to need a model release for anyone who can be identified in photo's. Regardless if they try to take rights (which I don't think they are) they are in for a real shit storm if they start printing photo's of people without their consent!
If it's in a public space you can photograph anyone you want.
They can basically only object if they are pictured in such a way or used in a commercial way that might be negative for them (their image/status).

As for high ISO, we won't have to wait too long to see APS-C on par with FF. Just look were APS-C was with high ISO two years ago...
However I think the APS-C has reach such a level that's good enough for almost anyone unless you print very large or need to use very high ISO.
And DOF is not as different as you might be led to believe. If I set both my Bronica ETRS 75mm lens and my Nikon 35mm camera with a 50mm lens on hyperfocal at f:22, the Nikon goes sharp from 1.9 m. to infinity. The Bronica gives me 2.15 m. to infinity. I guess the difference between FF and APS-C is about the same. Nothing to write home about.

This the most important part.
The FA* 85mm on a 35mm camera and the DA* 55mm on a Pentax K10D.
Because the 55mm doesn't give the same angle of view as the FA* 85mm, we need to stand just a bit closer. The subject distance for the FA* 85mm is 10m and for the DA* 55mm 9.9m, with these distance the subject will be the same length on both photos.
With the distance given above and both wide open f/1.4 the;
DA* 55mm would have a DOF of 183.8 cm on the K10D
FA* 85mm would have a dof of 116.8 cm on 35mm film
So the DA* 55mm would not replace the FA* 85mm for his DOF

Quite pricey btw, the 645D is now ¥839,000 (~ US $9200 / 6350 GBP) and that's 40mp, how fast times change. ]

It's noisier then the DA18-55 at least, the DA*16-50 use an SDM motor so you hardly hear that.
btw about noisy, the teacher at the photoclub explained the sound of the K10D shutter as a Kalashnikov, found it a nice comparison.
