I have posted about this before in other forums, but I figured I would ask under the "Kodak" forum too. I went to a Keith Urban concert this Friday and am kicking myself so hard for not memorizing my dang manual for my Kodak DX6490. Fortunately, I was still able to get some nice shots, but not enough for my taste! Anyway, I love my camera, but it doesn't work well on the night setting. Everything goes blurry or squiggly. It was like that on my trip to NYC in August when I took pictures on a night time cruise and from the top of the Empire State Building at night. I even would steady myself and I still couldn't get that setting to work. Any tips on settings or camera info that I obviously don't know. I am a total novice, so any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

No prosumer camera would produce very good nice shots. I have very good low-light shots with DX6490. I am posting the links and you can check the pics and exif data.
For low-light shot you need long exposures (i.e., below than 1/2 sec) that is almost impossible to hold steady in hands. Best is to use tripod/monopod. You can increase ISO settings (i.e., 200 or 100). Use low f-numbers if possible.
