Testing out the IXUS
My sister's Canon IXUS with a 4.0 megapixel resolution seems to perform badly at night or low-light conditions. I've been testing it at night. Oh well. I have seen other point n shoot things which can do wonders.

It's not the camera. It's just the shutter speed. Try this: Put it somewhere stable, and set it on timer. And let it take the photo on its own. You'll get a wonderful pic. :)
errr.. hehe in that case.. i don't know the solution yet.. my compact cam gave me big time for night shots too.. even with high iso doesn't solve the problem without a tripod..
Nah.. No need tripod. Even in an informal setting, you can just set the timer on, and then hold it steady and let it count down. :)
The cause of the blurry image is because the camera shifted while you push the button. I am quite sure you can hold your camera more steady than I do. :)
You can always brace your camera for support. Eg, elbow tucked in against the chest If you chose auto in low light condition. It's going to use a much longer exposure time and that's bad if you shake a lot. IMOH, the camera is doing fine, just that the user needs a little more work.

Reason: I did the same with the phone cam on the Nokia 7290, and it came out wonderful. If the phone cam can do it, then your digicam can do better.
hehe i know how can the problem be solved. Use a tripod.. :P
see my night shot for eye on malaysia. right click on the pictures :).. they're clear..
Grievous, Alicia, it is just that sometimes when I go out for dinners with friends, I would just like to have photos taken of us.
And in dark interiors, these shots turn out rather poorly for some reason.
I did change the ISO speed though. And the exposure. Sigh. Eventually, I set it back to automatic.
Yes, you are right about a tripod but still, in a casual dinner or a formal one...

I did try that at home a few months back, Grievous. It didn't turn out well.
