Light Canon

How well does the Canon S5 IS work in low light/portrait situations?
I'm looking to upgrade my digital camera, but I'm not quite ready to make the investment in a DSLR. Out of the cameras I've seen the Canon S5 IS seems like an affordable alternative that will provide me the freedom I'd like. My consistent problem with digital cameras has been that I tend to photograph in low light/high-activity situations, (concerts, plays, late night shenanigans) and I'm always left with obscene digital grain, and unrecognizable blur. Does the Canon S5 IS have the ability to photograph well in these conditions?
The IS will definitely help you with the blur (as long as they are coming from your hand shaking because of the slow exposure), but I highly doubt that the digital noise will disappear with the S5 IS. The S5 IS use a 1/2.5" sensor which is pretty common in other pocket camera, and it's one of the reason why you see digital noise in low light situation.
Like other said, save up and get a DSLR. The XT is an excellent start for this, or if you want to get into the second hand market, the Digital Rebel/300D is just the camera for you.
