Take the camera out of full auto and reduce your ISO (point and shoots are happiest at ISO100, securely mounted to a tripod) for greatly decreased noise.
I'd advise you learn to use your camera before posting such a harsh review in a public forum. There are essentially no shoot cameras that can be hand held in low light with useable results, and your expectations of this camera were clearly unrealistic.

Hi! I had read a lot of great reviews on Fuji in general so I bought the 8000 right after it first came out and before a lot of reviews on that specific camera were out.
And I also had a somewhat bad experience. I do have to say that I got many pictures that were amazing and the big zoom is great and very fun. However, some pictures were so grainy and awful and I could not figure out why. I kept the ISO low, I made sure the SS was definitely high enough, but some pictures just were terrible. My husband would try to take a simple indoor picture of the kids, with flash, in Auto mode and often they were horrible. Our previous camera was a Canon Powershot 2 mp camera from 2003. And honestly, the pictures on the Canon were often much better.
I was VERY lucky and was able to sell my 8000 with only a slight loss. I got a Nikon D40 and the difference was immediately amazing. I know it really isn't a fair comparison.
