[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 501199, member: 14443"] what lenses do you currently have? I dont think the lens is the issue if were talking about primes. the camera is holding you back. the idea of having a 1.4 or 1.8 lenses doesnt mean you should be shooting at open aperture and many times you need to stop down to f/4 or more so getting a 2.8 zoom doesnt really help. good glass will help with high iso image IQ as well. what iso were you shooting that you were getting grainy images? every camera has a limit of acceptable grain to us. to me, the D600 was 3200, my d3 is 6400 and the D3s is 8-10000- BUT! only if the scene is lit well. not the amount of light. which means, if youre shootin in a dark scene with lots of shadows and little light sources, the dark shadows will show heavy grain. but if youre shooting things with some lighting and brightly colored surroundings then it wont be noticeable as much.
