It works great. Max 30 sec shutter, or bulb if you have an optional remote trigger. Focus was not a problem either.

Here are two examples of my night shots.

This one used a flash at the begining of the exposure, then remained open for 5 seconds.
This one was a 30 sec exposure at F14

If you are focusing on a subject that has a little light and some contrast, there is no problem. It works very quickly.

If not, pop up the flash, let the auto-focus assist do it's job (it will work in pitch blackness), get your focus, switch to manual focus, close the flash unit, make your exposure adjustments, and take the shot. Works like a charm.

PS. I LOVE this camera. I have yet to hear an owner say they are not satisfied with the results.

Yes to all that mariomel said. Also will add you have a 'no-flash' option and it works very well with little to no light.

one thing to note - that i have noticed - and which you can change is the lcd version of the image tends to be brighter than when i get it to the PC

i usually bracket exposures in dark situations especially

Besides this, manual focus really works on slr, not like this lcd-focusing. You will see almost everything in the viewfinder.

And don't forget - cable release is a big help with night shot.

I like your venice shots in term of colors and 'mood'.
Just as a comment I think they are a little too much 'centered' and would have had more strength with a different composition. Except if it is by 'choice' and you were trying to express something specific.

But they are still nice :-)
