The image is very "grainy". At ISO/1600 it is still usable but at 3200 or higher it's terrible. So i need some body which works better in low light situations. I know that expensive fullframes for example Sony work so much better in this situations. But I need som cheaper choice which work with APSC Canon lenses. :/

Matys0409,

I read several reviews that said that the 250D (or SL3) is good "within its native ISO range". which seemed to suggest up to 3200. They said that ISO 6400 and up is terrible, especially with its kit lens.

When you shoot video, what aperture do you usually use? A wider aperture like f/5.6 would allow you to use slower shutter speeds and lower ISO speeds in dim lighting.

If you do want to upgrade, a lot of your decision is going to depend on how much money you have to spend. What kind of budget do you have?

A Canon R10 is going to cost about $1,000 (body only). You'll need an adapter to make your Af and AF-S lenses work on it. Many people are happy with using their existing AF and AF-S lenses on their R Series mirrorless cameras with an adapter.
