canon digital camera 3200 image
Amorican
I guess I need a professional digital camera, but which one, and with what equipment?
An example of what I want to do: I see photographers taking excellent shots at concerts (indoor) without using a flash, and holding the camera in their hands.
Answer
If you do get a DSLR or the like, get one with high ISO setting (1600-3200), a lens with a big aperture (F/2.8 or lower would be nice) and Image Stabilization (for Canon) or VR (for nikon) which gives you the ability to handhold about 3 stops less then you normally would be able to.
Also as mentioned, your shutter speed should not be lower then the focal length you're shooting at, i.e. at 200mm, your min shutter speed is 1/200. Any lower and it will show up blur unless you have IS/VR assist.

When did digital cameras first start producing very high quality images?

The first point and shoot digital I bought back in 2005 was nothing special, but it could shoot some high quality images for casual use. As long as you didn't need to do artsy-fartsy photography you were golden. I bought one a few years earlier and it was garbage.

I too still have my $1,000 Nikon Coolpix 990 and it still does an excellent job

P&S cameras actually should be doing a pretty decent job. What P&S did you buy. How well grounded are you in the fundamentals of photography?
While my D100 is still a viable camera, it was not until the introduction of the D3 just before the China Olympics did anyone take digital cameras seriously. Only in the past few years, has Arizona Highways began to accept digital images for publication.

The amazingly high performance of the D3 in the low light conditions found in many of the sports venues at the Olympics, caught the attention of many who and not looked very closely at Nikon as possible choice as a professional tool. Seeing images shot at ISO's of 3200 and 6400 that had less noise than a Canon at 800 ISO, caught the attention of sports photographers who buy their own equipment.
Here is a sample of an image shot with the D3 in a rather dark building.

This was shot with the ISO set to an amazing 12,800 ISO. As you can see, there is no noise in the shadow area
My guess is that you have your ISO set to AUTO and the poor photos have more to do with the shooting conditions rather than the actual camera
Of course knowing that you have a P&S made by a well know camera brand and NOT an economy GE, Vivitar or Polaroid would help as well.
Basically if a camera is NOT listed on this link, it is basically just a generic camera with someones name stamped on it.
