I'm trying to work out if it's worth upgrading my ancient P&S (a Sony Cybershot, if that means anything to anyone), and if a better P&S would suit my needs or if I'd need to get serious DSLR gear.

Mostly what I'm after is getting shots of environments for art references - I don't need many features, but my currents P&S chokes on... well, anything less than daylight. I guess my question is whether a decent P&S could deal with shooting in the dark (I don't need action shots, so I'm fine with long exposure times) or is that just something point and shoot cameras inherently can't do well?

Thanks! Next question, then - where's a good place to find more info on a basic four-thirds setup? I can't see a thread for it.

That looks great, but more than I can afford even second-hand.

Ok, I'll try tripod first, cos that's cheapest! Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll get to shopping around!
