My DSLR is a Pentax K110D, the budget camera from 2 years ago. The picture quality is awful. So basically I'm looking for a replacement with better quality. (by quality, I'm referring to the amount of noise.)

Two questions, would a better lens help? I have the lens that came with the body, a simple little 18-55mm.

Also, if I do go ahead and get another camera, what would you recommend?
Im looking for the two contradicting features, quality and a low price.
Im not going to be using it for all my pics, just family pictures/vacation and the likes, so it doesnt have to be an Alpha900 haha.

Nikon.

whats your budget though? It ALL hinders on that and what you are willing to spend of course.

Pretty much everything that has come out lately can handle high iso fairly well.

whatever I get for my camera +500$, so probably about 700-800.

Could always buy my XSi for $650

Perfect condition, always in it's case when not being used. This is the kit I bought last year for over $1000 + a $70 Tritanium Tripod (I liked the name haha). Amazing how stuff depreciates so quickly

You'll be happy with Nikon or Canon. Go test them out and see what feels best/better to you in YOUR hands, and dig through the menu's and see which layouts you like better.
