Now that is interesting - they don't have an emoticon for ears poking up -
I have a vague memory of reading a posting about having a special low light option on their DSLR but never followed it up and now I can't find it...

How dark can it get before you get a meaningless blur? And are there any examples of low-light photography in the Gallery? (I'm not looking to photograph black beetles in total darkness)
