I don't think Mike was talking about shooting indoors with an ISO of 600.

That IS what I was suggesting. It's these higher ISO's that make shooting in lower light possible. But, increasing the ISO number is only a means to increase the shutter speed.
If the blurring is caused from either camera shake, or from subject movement, and not some inability of the camera to focus in low light, then it is a faster shutter speed that will win the day.
The following is an excerpt from this "ISO experiment" thread:

My camera has a range of ISO settings from 200 to 1600. I re-shot the above using the following ISO settings. The shutter speed was correspondingly selected by the camera in portrait mode, all at aperture 4.5:
ISO 200 shutter speed 100
ISO 400 shutter speed 200
ISO 1250 shutter speed 800
ISO 1600 shutter speed 1000

As the ISO goes up so goes the shutter speed and your ability to ward off the blurrs. Of course you only want enough speed to get the job done. If you can get your shutter speed up around the 100 range you should be OK. However, with a squirmy kid I like to have more of a cushion. I would shoot for a SS of at least 150-200 with young kids.
With my Nikon I can set it to "Auto ISO." I can pick a minimum SS and the camera will automatically adjust up the ISO until it achieves the minimum desired SS. I don't know if your camera has this, it might. I think your camera will produce a quality image at these higher ISO's. Not true with the point and shoots. They only go to 400 ISO. check out the quality of the images shot at very high ISO's at the above link.
If you shoot young kids at a SS of less than 100 you will get very spotty results. I think your shot of the doll tells a lot.
