i am trying to find a decent starter camera that takes nice low light pics, or in nightclubs with no flash using ambient club lighting and stuff. i'd love to find one that does stop action in the club with no flash. not sure that exists.
I've mentioned a few times that I shoot with the olympus e10 - its a few years old now, but I've seen them go for as low as $400 on ebay sometimes for a good used one (originally we paid $2,200 when they hit the market).

It has all the features you'd want, manual and full-auto modes - and can shoot in almost total darkness with long exposures. They're damn rugged and solidly built, too. I've shot over 100k shots with mine so far in about 3 years (scenic and adult combined)...so they stand up very well to a LOT of photography.

Hell, I'd buy another one again in a heartbeat, hehe.
