you'll get noise to be sure. but that's true with all point and shoot cameras, especially above 6mp in size. The problem isn't the camera, so much as camera manufacturers are stuffing more and more megapixels onto those small CCD chips. CCD chips on point and shoot cameras a smaller and as such, fitting in more pixels causes them to lose light sensivity. Sure, there’s more data on the chip, but the chip can’t absorb the light data and what it ends up with is a picture that has more noise than image quality. In addition, the more megapixels a camera has, the larger the lens it needs to provide the clarity it deserves and prevent diffraction due to a loss of detail with smaller apertures. Sure, the Ss8100 has a superzoom, but I don't believe it's enough to completely take up the slack.
