Can you open the shutter for more than 1 second? Or was that a mistake on the specs? If you can, and you use a tripod, night shots will look a lot better, but you'll have to make sure to put the ISO on manual, and aim for around 200-400, BUT to have the ISO that low, expect to have the shutter open for 10-30 seconds, and keep it still (why a tripod is needed)
But no, compacts are never good for low light. The sensors just cannot deal with the high ISO ratings, an SLR for example loves. But compacts tend to be just as good in normal light/high light situations, but of course, don't offer as much control.
Hmm, I see. So should I buy 'less' of a camera because they will all do crappy in the low light?
And I have no idea how to do the shutter thing... I guess ill keep looking thru it. But with what I need this camera for I cant cart around a tripod and let the thing stay open for 10 seconds lol. I need a snap a go camera that isnt going to be 400 dollars
