Hello samsungNEWB
To the main question you pose: “Should I give up on my Samsung GX-10 DSLR?”, the answer is simple (and in the line with the colleagues before me) – NO!
If I was in your shoes, I would get a solution for inside photos… with your camera an low light I would advise you to get a flash or a an alternative solution on how to use your in camera flash.
For the in camera flash I would advise something like the “Lightscoop” (
http://www.lightscoop.com).
I have it, and let me say, in rooms up to 4 x 4 meters high it delivers what it says.
For an out of the camera flash, you can decide for a full modern one or something like the amazing good old fashion Pentax AF280T (there is one for 45 USD’s for sale in this forum now). I have it and it’s great.
And let me say, with this solution (specially an external flash), you will get great sharp photos of your kid (or other inside events) using the kit lens.
Extra advice: before buying an external flash and independent of what the one you buy (if you decide to go that road), I do advise you to read very carefully Neilvan Niekerk’ website about flash photography techniques (

Best regards,
