I was going through some old photos tonight and found these two shots, taken in New Orleans:
These were taken with a Sony Mavica 2MP point and shoot. The photos were actually saved to floppy discs!
These photos were taken without a flash or a tripod. No settings to adjust, as this was a point-and-shoot. And although a little noisy, they really are pretty good low-light shots.
Both of these shots were taken in 2002. Since then, I've owned a 5MP Kodak EasyShare, and my current Pentax K10. I've been unable to get low-light shots comparable to the old Sony with either camera without decreasing the shutter speed and mounting the camera on a tripod (not really an option for these types of shots).
Am I missing something? Is there something I'm not doing? Or was that old Sony something special?
