How do I get sharper, less noisy pictures?

Sony A6400, Sigma 16-300 lens.

Photo 1: f9.0 1/2500 iso800 Photo 2: f8.0 1/800 iso2000 Photo 3: f5.6 1/800 iso2500

I know the iso is a little higher on the last 2 pictures. Is this just to be expected when shooting on a more budget setup?

Shot a concert for a friend part 2

Niiice, i was about to ask which lens you used, and saw your comment and I have the exact same lens lol. Didn’t think you can get such a nice shot with it in such a dark club. But my camera (sony a6400) would have horrible ISO noise

A6400 vs A6700 Wildlife?

Before buying new gear I'd try taking photos on a brighter day that lets you keep the ISO under 800 while still using at least a 1/1250 shutter speed. Newer cameras have pretty good high ISO performance but you won't be getting super sharp images at 3200+ iso. You can still get fine images that like

Why am I getting so much compression?

I'm not actually familiar with the A6400. I had an A6000 years and years ago and shoot full frame now, but I guess I just mean that historically speaking, 5000 is VERY HIGH! Like, I shot TMAX at some very high ratings back when I shot on film, and it was very cool, but it was also grainy as hell! I

Fairly new to Sony and photography in general. What am I doing wrong here?

So either the images are too dark, too noisy or too they motion blur in them. I have shot in both JPG and RAW. Finding it extremely difficult to reach the even the JPG'

Help me understand if Full Frame is better in light sensitivity with same pixel size as of APSC?

Forget about the pixels, and only think about the sensor itself. Given the same lighting conditions, same focal length, and same F-stop. A larger sensor physically receives more light due to having a bigger area and a larger lens. APS-C will have worse low-light performance than FF bodies, but moder

the only thing I dislike is the lowlight capabilities, I get a lot of noise when shooting photos How much do you need that improved? An a7C is a little over 1 stop improved over the a6400 for ISO performance, from what I can see: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=daylight&attr
