Post Body

Hi everyone

I'm going to Sweden in November to hopefully see the Northern Lights. My previous camera experience is limited to my trusty Canon Ixus V.

I'm a beginner and so I don't need cutting edge equipment (I hope) I guess I need something with a long exposure, that won't freeze at night time and is as "point and click" as possible.

It doesn't need to be new, or sexy, am I kidding myself I can get away with this for less than $500AUD?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated, and in return, I will hopefully return with some photos I'm proud of to show you.
