Keep the fscking camera. It's a great P&S and it'll last you for a couple of years. It won't take the pictures like a DSLR but what else can you expect from a compact digital camera?

Let this thread die please, Epoman's question's been answered plenty of times.

Wow such a sad existance, you get mad at people giving their opinion. I hope more people give their opinion. Thanks too all for taking the time.

Check your settings to see if the auto ISO is selected.
If it does, change it to ISO 50 or 100.
Disabled flash, put it on tripod or table, use timer and check the shot again after that.
Should reduce the noise. Auto ISO prolly pump it up to ISO 400 (noisy) to compensate for lack of flash.

thanks for that info. I just did a test in manual mode (you were probably right about auto mode)... with lower ISOs, it takes longer to complete snapping the picture and with my unsteady hands, it creates a bit of a blur. However, the lower ISOs did get rid of the noise in the flash-less pics. At least now I know... I'll try for a happy medium.

Yeah... it's a tradeoff. Since you're doing less amplification at the lower ISOs you have to increase the exposure time.
