Hi, I am using a Canon Eos Kiss 3 and have noticed that with daytime shots I am happy with the results, most of my night shots are dark and not always well focused - not any better than an average snapshot, in fact some of them are worse than what I have taken on cheap cameras. Should I look at a speedlight to rectify this problem? And if so is there a particular one I should consider buying? Thanks for your help

yes, an external speedlite can help you solve your problem to some extend since it can have sufficient power to light up your subject. but in really low light condition the camera will show very slow shutter speed in Av, Tv and M mode. but using the flash in P mode can help you. this mode will not bring the background. but if the background is not too far (ex. in a closed room or restaurant) then P mode can give pretty good results.
