>>71583 With this level of darkness, he's going to need to take a long exposure on a tripod anyway, so SLR low-light performance advantages aren't as important. SLRs are great for low light things like where you need to shoot handheld and can't get a fast enough shutter speed with less than f/1.8 ISO400.
Op: Step 1 is to get yourself a tripod. If you don't have a tripod with you and really want to take a night shot like this, find a stable surface (e.g., a low wall or a trash can or something) and set your camera down on it. Then set your camera's self timer. Any jostling of the camera during the exposure will result in a blurry picture, up to and including just pressing the shutter button. A lot of Canon cameras have a 2-second self timer (in addition to the 10-second self timer) for exactly this purpose. You turn on the 2s timer, hit the button, then get your hands off the camera with time for any movement from your touching the shutter to settle down a bit before the exposure starts.
Also, make sure your ISO is at its minimum and don't try to do something stupid like using your flash to light up an entire city.
