Nico - if you're taking night shots - I really really recommend a tripod. It'll make a whole load of difference to what you can do with the camera. You can pick up a cheap one fairly easily - as long as it holds the camera still while it takes the shot - that's the point!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Welcome to the world of low-light photography. ;) If you want better, you'll have to get something more along the lines of the DSC-H1, the DSC-828, or something else with a large lens (I mean large in diameter, not in zoom).

I'll be putting a little over $1300 into a digital camera in the near future I think.

one thing though: it won't be a Sony. I don't like the Sony lockin for media. Nearly nothing but Sony hardware uses the Sony memory sticks. I stick with CF and SD for everything. Of course, if you have lots of Sony hardware, it makes sense.

Again, I reiterate my support of the Canon Powershot S70. 7mp on the cheap, baby.

The EOS cameras are meant to be excellent. You could probably find a 300 on the cheap, now that the 350's out...
Any fool can pull a trigger...

I'd have to agree with you there; A the time I got the DSC-V1, Sony was still making Clie (Palm) devices, and I was planning on getting one. I was pleasently surprised, however, to discover that my dream Sony camera, the DSC-828. has CF I & II support... IBM Microdrive, anyone? ;)

Beat me to it. Can't record 30 FPS video onto the CF, but I don't think people will complain that much. I hope Sony builds more CF support into their later models. :yes:

Actually, you CAN if you get the right kind of CF, Steak and the camera has a fast enough data bus. I've got a 512mb CF card in my PDA right now that is rated for 480mb/sec (about firewire speed)

That may be - don't know if disabling 30fps video to a CF card is just due to hardware limitations (that would be / have been overcome), or because they disabled it in the BIOS (to prevent people complaining that their 30fps video recorded to CF is skipping).
