Hi!
This is my first post. I've been out of the game for a while and recently gotten my spark back. Today I remembered one of the reasons I sat down the camera in the first place. I'm not thrilled with what I'm working with. The issue with my camera is that in low light situations it just doesn't cut it. There is blurring, excessive noise and the hot pixels. I've tried many things, short of getting a flash setup, and I've concluded that I just need to get something else. I shoot a lot of motion and outdoor shots. I love working with available light and I want to dabble in some long exposure as well. I know I cannot get rid of these problems 100% but I'm sure there are cameras that can do better than what I have. I never could get the answer I was looking for from comparisons and reviews on various websites so I finally decided to try a forum to get some better feedback. I would very much appreciate any help you guys can give on what would be a good upgrade for what I'm wanting to do. Here are the specs on what I have let me know if you need any more info, THANKS!
