Tia, if you use the Sony F828, in my experience, indoor available light photography is not this camera's forte! You'll find that image noise increases quite a bit if you shoot over ISO 200. I would definitely use a monopod at a minimum, if a tripod is impractical. Try to bracket your exposures if possible, and process through Photoshop for sharpness, and then in Neat Image or Noise Ninja to clean up some of the noise artifacts. Good luck!
