>>4257755>>4257756>ISO 3200 (12800-ish noise) badHigh ISO is how you use it. You can't take literally any photo at ISO 50,000. I wouldn't want to be limited to it for literally every photo. Generally if you're ISO is too high you should overexpose as much as you can and get close to the subject to make the details you want to emphasize larger than the noise.
>The lenses on my glorified bridge camera are not the sharpest!It is a bridge camera+1, not every lens is meant to be nat geo ready. The entire point is people who are cheap and want to travel light can have fun with the cheap/light stuff and just not care, and the few people buying the expensive stuff probably aren't making it their only camera.
Micro four thirds is cheap, small, and does not have the best stills IQ but it's still cheap and small and that's fine if you're not intending to pixel peep all 20mp and aim for digital perfection in every situation
