Hhahah I think i know what he's saying... When it's really dark, cameras like those Z series and my Dimage 5 plus other PnS will give you an almost entirely dark screen, can't even frame picture and get proper shots (that's why all those pics you get at DblO's party pic thingy mostly off one side, cos can't see a thing unless there's some bight background or something :bsmilie: )
Don't think the Z has an optical viewfinder? For cameras with optical viewfinder, use it, or get a torch/led light thingy to help you gauge where you are pointing your camera at. (shine on subject, can see a bit, then agak-agak :bsmilie
For cameras like the A series, there's this function, the greyscale, super high sensitivity thingy (what's it called officially? :dunno: ) which automatically switches on in dark conditions. It increase the sensitivity of the sensor and provide you with a noisy greyscale image on the EVF/LCD which will let you have a better idea of wat you are shooting.

But I thought the Minolta Z3 has auto gain-up when shooting in low light. Maybe he can try brightening up the EVF further under the setup menu. :think:

All image stabalisers, from N, C, P or KM, can only do so much, generally let you shoot at around 3 stops slower than the 1/focal length rule of thumb...
As a guide, at the recent motor show, I needed 1/15 - 1/20 seconds at f5.6, ISO 3200... And for those who went, you'll know that it's far brighter than many indoor situations liao... Unless you are shooting wide... use a flash...
come come~

tok rooster, drink kopi and I think many guys can help out if we can see the 'problem' with our eyes...

Noise is in evitable due to the small size of the sensors, even the higher range prosumers faces these problems.
And even the A1/A2 do not use the AF assist lamp of the external flash unit. I nv used a Z series before, but the auto sensor gain thingy for the A1 works pretty ok for me as long as I choose the right thing to focus on.
For noise reduction try Neat Image it's highly automated and would help get decent 4R prints out of your high ISO images. The best part, it's free for home use.
