I spent some time tonight takeing low light images with my Canon S30. There are a few shots that were OK. 15 second exposure is not all that great. What I have come to understand is that I can usally get away with not using a tripod durring the day, can't do it when it gets a little darker out. So I am going to break down and buy one when the D70 gets back... which brings up that who ever is negotiating for Ritz Camera with Nikon is either stupid or really sucks at their job. When one moves that high level of volume you should be able to get the first batch of cameras and maintain a good flow of them.
