literally this

people make do with base iso digitals and 50 iso velvia at night

people make do with fuzzy and hazy russian lenses from over 100 years ago

people make do with bottom of the barrel consumer cameras from last decade

people make do with borderline junk by todays standards and they still make beautiful photos

use what you feel comfortable with and go make some beautiful photos

of course, if you want the best low light capabilities so you can run and gun at F22 without even so much of a hint of noise you get a sony A7S3
you can probably find something better if you spend even more money

Any film camera. Night time photography looks stunningly awful when using digital cameras. Outright disgusting even. That is the only area where film still mogs modern cameras. Not even a diffusion filter helps here when trying to introduce some halation and thereby soul.

Tripod will take all of this snow in >>3777819 and make it disappear. That applies to stabilization as well.
Open the aperture too much and everything is out of focus.
There is simply no replacement for signal to noise ratio allowing for high ISO.

I had to honestly google halation and I don't find it all that desirable. But the thing I dislike most about film photography is that you must overexpose everything or else you risk losing shadow detail where you'd want it. This makes everything look far more washed out, with lower saturation and contrast, which isn't really my thing. To each their own though.

I do a lot of night walks and have burned through a lot of cameras but a Canon G9X, Sony rx100 or Fujifilm X100 are all great for this role. Didn't like the GRs (slow lens) or slr/mirrorless solutions (d7000, x-t2 etc.) cause they were too big. Also carry a small, light tripod like a gorillapod. Pic related

there is no camera/lens setup thats great at everything, buy a good camera with the best quality most versatile lens you can afford, learn to use editing software and then buy more lenses according to what you need to do most

with 1 camera and 1 lense you ARE going to come across things that you want to be able to do but can't.

Honestly low light biggest problem isn't the noise due to low sensitivity, it's these everpresent, economical, low CRI, high pressure sodium bulbs. Only neon signs can save from it.

you know people do post-process right?
contrast is a one way street, you can easily go down in post, but up is usually a problem
with digital you preserve highlights and bump shadows, which can add noise

Get one of the ball joint ones. Joby is the brand name company, but you can also make one from LocLine.
Then you can hang it off any tree, sign post, etc.

The patrician's choice is any film camera that lets you take long exposures and a tripod. Literally anything will serve you though, >the one you have with you isn't just a meme. If you have a camera that you like already, further gearfagging gets detrimental, just head out when the sun goes down and take some shots

>>3778649
If you're too frail-bodied to walk around for a couple hours with a tripod, you're beyond help. Going around town in the evening/night with a tripod shouldered is maximum comfy, and you're less likely to get fucked with since you're essentially carrying a big stick.

I live in a major NA city with a relatively low crime rate but I still feel paranoid about walking around with $2000 of equipment at night.

Anyone have any advice for not getting mugged at night time? I was thinking that carrying my tripod around could be a deterrent because I could use it like a weapon but maybe having a tripod screams "I have a camera."
