What is the best compact digital camera for shooting at night?


I am currently looking at the Olympus Stylus 750. Is that any good?

For low light photography without flash or a tripod, you want something that delivers good image quality at high ISO settings.
With a lot of cameras you can crank the ISO up to 800 or 1600, but the pictures look like crap. The only company that really delivers in this department is Fuji. Have a look at this review for the Fuji F30: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm...

I have a Sony with the "Night Shot" feature that lets you snap in complete darkness, but gives an scary green glow to everything. You can set the ISO for night also, but it is not as clear as the night shot.

find something with a really fast shutter speed...a shutter opens up to let light into the camera in order to take a picture. at night or in low light, the shutter stays open longer in hopes to let more light in, so that the picture turns out.
The problem with that is, if the shutter is open longer, then your picture will turn out blurry, because any shake or motion at all will show up on the "film" (unless you use a tripod to steady it).
(thats why a lot of pictures in the dark are blurry)
SO... find a camera with a faster shutter speed (or an adjustable shutter speed). Then you will be able to capture better, clearer, pictures in the dark.

I'll agree with OMG and I'm just writing to provide with a link to another good review of the Fuji F30. See the sample images of low light - high ISO situation.
