For low or available light photography the lens is the most important part. You need a fast lens with a large aperture like a f/1.4, f/1.8 or a f/2.8. Secondly ISO performance makes a big difference also. The higher the ISO the better the low light performance. The trade-off is the higher the ISO the more noise or grain you will have in your pics. Some digital camera bodies and some films handle higher ISOs better than others.

This plus a a Mp count of over 10 would be good

Thanks for the offer, but I really don't trust buying some things over the internet,(plus that camera is way out of my price range) Stunning picture, though!!

Focus motor inside the body VS focus motor inside the lens.

Lenses with motors are considerably more expensive.
