Camera Another newbie DSLR buying suggestion thread

@OP

The pics for the camera you have are good.

The flows are:
You kept flash on, in general the flash of a P $ S can only light up 10 ft area.
The bubbles you see are very common, specially in night shots.

You have to explore the settings of your camera (canon have dial which depicts the icon of setting look for "Av" )

In Av mode you can set the shutter speed increase it to about 1 sec, reduce the ISO to 100, put your camera on a still surface (If you dont have tripod, like the barricade in first photo of skyline), put the flash to off and see the difference.

The first experiment you can make is go to the terrace of your home keep the camera on parapet secured and experiment you will be surprised how good the results are.

look at my flickr stream on my signature there are night pics taken by an ancient P&S.

ps edit : before you jump on to DSLR atleast acquire reasonable skills with your present camera otherwise you will be utterly disappointed with DSLR because of focus problems / composition problems and many other things.

Do not be disheartened you are making first steps into the photography, being a geek at heart you are disappointed but you can land at the top as it is, either you have ascend the steps or you have descend from air which way to choose is upto you. :D

Well as far as I know the lens coming with Canon 1000D is non IS...but here they are saying it's IS...can anyone tell weather it's IS or non-IS?
 
Well I called the seller...he told...it's non-IS only...he said...if I pay Rs 2800/- more...I can get with IS...so guys is it really worth to go for? I'm little inclined towards IS...pour in your suggestions...
