you might try a lower iso that should help with the noise...but then you will likely have to use the tripod or brace yourself really well..I'm sorry I don't know more about the quirks of your camera... :untknow:

To put it frankly, noise is a bitch. There are a coupe of options though, you can go with some PS plugins like Noise Ninja and Neat Image, which both work well from what I've seen. Another option is to shoot Black & white when using higher ISOs. Noise tends to looks better in black & white. Noise has always been one of my biggest gripes with digital. With film you've got grain instead of noise, and it just has a better look to it than digital noise. But another option I suppose would be to use a grain function in PS, which might give the noise a better look. The best option though if you can swing it it to use a tripod and another steady surface and use a lower ISO. This is also why I find prime lenses superior to zooms. Usually if you've got the ability to shoot at f/1.4 or 1.8 you can usually get away with not using a tripod and still shoot at a slow ISO.

Kyle I'm glad to hear you say that..I thought I was nutty..cause it seemed like noise was such an issue and was maybe due to something I was screwing up..I kept reading and gleaned pretty much that noise is just a digital issue..and I also agree with you about film...like that's a surprise...

Yes, I do have a small tripod........I could use on these......I noticed anything over 200iso and you can see the noise..:( thank god for the noise remover..but it doesn't get rid of all of it......sometimes I have to work on the background a little as well but that's what I am trying to avoid......the editing...:( It takes too long.....I would like to do as least as possible......

The nosie does look better in black and white......I figured that out when I was chasing the deer down at night.........:D Oh those darn deer.....ugh!!!!


Thanks again!!!!!
