Stop blaming your camera for blur when it's your shutter speed
I used to think my phone camera was just junk because all my indoor shots of my dog came out like a smeary mess. Last week I finally looked up why and realized I was shooting at 1/15th of a second without even knowing it. The camera was fine, I was just moving too slow for the light in my living room. Now I bump the ISO up to 800 and shoot at 1/125th minimum and everything is crisp. I see so many people on here posting pics taken in dim rooms with zero motion blur settings and they think it's the lens. For real, check your shutter speed before you buy a new phone or lens. Has anyone else figured this out late like me? Did it make as big a difference for you?

The ISO 800 thing is exactly what I had to do @cora_martinez, but I'm curious how much noise you're okay with. I pushed mine to 1600 once for a party shot and the grains looked like sand on a beach. Did you try any noise reduction apps or do you just live with it?

1200 ISO on a cat in dim light was still grainy but way better than blurry fur everywhere.
