[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 63725, member: 9521"] I think you nailed the problem - ISO. You should consider using auto-ISO and set the minimum shutter speed at 1/200 or maybe 1/250 and see if this helps. I've heard many a professional photographer say they won't take a photo under ISO 150 or maybe 200 at tops, but that's just not realistic for most of us. I know I'd lose over 3/4's of my images if I lived by that credo. Don't worry so much about noise, noise can be dealt with, concern yourself on taking the sharpest photos you can achieve and then when you're happy with your technique, come back on the ISO issue. The suspect reason the point and shoot camera you mentioned takes such nice photos is because of the auto-ISO. So my answer to your question is yes, faster glass will help you keep your desired low ISO, however, I would suggest perfecting your skills on existing equipment before you add an additional variable.
