Hi all, just wanted to ask what specs should I look out for when buying a basic digital camera that is good for night shots?
I am absolutely camera illiterate, being one of those people that just like to point and shoot, but I've been reading a few articles today and have been on dpreview.com and have collected that the camera should have an ISO of at least 1600 and a CCD of 1/1.6 or 1/1.7, but what else should I look out for? Min. Shutter speed? Lens type?
I understand that a tripod is also fundamental for good night photography, but it's because my brother wants to take it on holiday so we need something compact and inexpensive so unfortunately SLR's are out of the question)=.
So what basic specs should I look out for in a digital camera that would be good for night photography? Thanks all!(=
