Only the really big digital SLR's with very sensitive CCDs can take good low light pictures.


Myth.

The newest DSLRs (Eg. Canon 350XT, Pentax *ist-D..) with a basic lens attached are now about the same size as many of the full featured "digicam" models (egl Coolpix 5700).

And that same cheapie Canon 350XT works great in near-darkness!
