Best Camera's to make night pics at partys
I have a Minolta Dimage G400 Digital camera but the pics
in the clubs don't come out too good when I'm shooting in night mode.
Besides like $2500 D-SLR cameras does enyone have any tips on
picture making in night mode? Examples of pics?
there are many many options..
I've used a Canon S230 Elph.. and a Canon 300D SLR + pro flash. You can see examples of both on my website. Travelninja.com. The problem with regular camera's is the size of the sensor and the power of the flash. If you increase the ISO on your digicam to something above 200 you can notice a great deal of noise in each pic. The increase in ISo is important in making pictures look brighter. However Cams with larger sensors such as those in D-SLRs are virtually perfect at higher ISO's all the way to 800 with little to no noise.
The best options you have with a consumer digicam is to change shutter speeds to something longer. Remember to brace your arms so there is minimial vibration there by making your pic look all fuzzy. Use the nightshot options, and adjust ISO. Just remember the greater the ISO rating, the more noise there will be in your pics.
PM me if you want more info.

That's a really cool website.
Anyways, thanks for the info I will definitely check out the
Canon.
One more thing the Minolta G400 makes everyone look really
really fat I don't know why I'm serious its like stretching
the image in the middle.
I know it sounds funny but I'm seriously pissed
off with this I took pics of things not only people and
something is wrong with the lense ...
My Minolta Dimage Xg does a decent job for a compact:

drgoodvibe on the 300d where should the processing parameters set at.
mine takes good pix...
sony cybershot dsc-w1
5.1 mp
very easy to use... bunch o settings, 2.5" lcd
and it is cheap... $350??
imo ultra compact 5 megapixel camera's really dont perform well. everyone falls into the trap of thinking that mp's make the camera better.. they dont. yes you can take pictures on a higher res, but 9/10 the smaller sizes are filled with noise and look shit. based on the size of the lense used its almost stupid to cram in an extra MP. It's a marketing scam for people who dont know anything about camera's imo. based on current technology, 4MP is really the limit. check out www.dpreview.com for some great points and in depth discussions on this!
sony make some stylish camera's, but nothing beats a canon digitals quality of pictures wise imo.
hey i'm thinking of gettting a Canon S410 4mp camera... its a digital ELPH but can someone point me to where i can get a Fish eye lense for one of these...is it possible to get one, other than on ebay..i dont want one of those bootleg ones.

if you're not satisifed with the range your flash reaches, try looking for a external flash for your camera. If you think your current flash makes ppl look like ghosts (pale faces, every wrinkle visible, shiny faces etc) try buying a "bouncer" to your flash. It makes the flash alot softer and it also reduces hard shadows behind objects. You can also build your own "bouncer" to your flash using some half-transparent plastic and attach it on the flash. If you can, tilt the flash 45 degrees up so that the flash bounces even more (first through the bouncer, then bouncing off the roof). This gives you alot better indoor flashphotos but the "bouncer" reduces the range your flash can light up though, so be sure you are close enough!
Hope it helped a little 
edit: and if you meant taking long-range pics of dj's / lasershows well then ignore the above statement if you want clear pics with no motionblur of lasershows/clubscenery then you might have to consider a tripod and/or measure a bright lightsource so you can be able to take photos with a short shutterspeed (or manually set the shutter if you can). This way you can take handheld photos with your camera without risking to get motionblur/overexposure (as dark clubs may trick the lightmetering in the camera to think it needs a longer shutterspeed to brighten up the photo when in fact in doesn't, so be sure to doublecheck that too). I'm in a bit hurry now so I haven't had time to correct any possible errors, if you need any additional help just pm
remember that it's not the camera, it's the photographer
i took some of my fave pics with a 1 megapixel sony.
(i've since upgraded.. not that it helped)
and it's hard work using a tripod in a club, i've tried a few times... lol. but if you can manage, cool pictures will happen. haha
oh yeah I forgot, here's 2 photos illustrating flashes with and without a bouncer.
Without bouncer (flash pointing forward)
With bouncer (flash tilted 45 degrees)
