Such a camera will cost you $800.
You can check out the Canon S95 or S100 for low light performance that is better than the SD780.
But it is only about 2 f-stops better.
Those two cameras also produce sharper photos than the SD780.
To my eyes the S95 provides a bit more fine detail than the S100.
..
I've had a Canon SD780 IS for a few years that is pretty stylish/light but just won't satisfy me with photos taken at night. I think its time for an update and I want your help!
