Dear /p/ I started photography about a year ago during the summer and then I became my school's photographer.

It was my cousin who got me interest in photography and he told me to get the Sony DSC-h5.

My question is what Camera should I get now? Because my current one isn't meeting some expectations.

This camera doesn't work well for indoor events. Example is that our school yard is under construction so now all the pep rallies are being held indoors. What I want to be able to do is shoot indoor photos w/o flash or adjusting the ISO with a shutter speed of atleast 500

Also I'm still a at least newbie to photography so yeah I can understand if /p/ thinks that way. But please do give me advice.

Yeah, you're not gonna get that from any camera unless your gym is *extremely* well lit. Especially your "without raising the ISO" requirement. An interchangeable-lens camera could get you a bit more light with a larger-aperture lens, but even with an f/1.0, you're still talking just three stops faster than your current camera. And I doubt that you're the sort of person who can go out and buy a Leica+Noctilux or Canon+EF 50mm f/1.0L.

I'd recommend learning a bit more about photography and lighting and the relationship between ISO, noise, shutter speed, and aperture before you try buying a better camera.
