Noise is the nemesis of all of us. But, you have an excellent P&S camera already to work with, so beware of "throwing the baby out with the bath water" just to improve noise. Many exposures, even with a DSLR, just cannot avoid some noise. I have to run most of my shots from the Canon 300D at 400/800 ISO through the Noiseware software.Reeforbust said:Noise.....My worst enemy! I think its time to jump up to a DSLR from this Canon G5. I have a very hard time getting action shots without Tons of noise.:x

You might download the Noiseware freeware version and use it for awhile. It will be less expensive than buying a DSLR.
I'll give it a try.:thumbup:
