If you're going to be using a tripod and shooting stationary subjects: Any camera that is capable of longer exposures (i.e. longer than 1 sec.).

If you're not using a tripod but are shooting stationary subjects: A camera with image stabilization, like the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9, or the Panasonic Lumix models.

If you're not using a tripod and are shooting moving subjects: Fujifilm FinePix F10 or the soon-to-be-released F30, for their ability to take good quality higher ISO images.

You can tell from my signature which one is my personal favourite.
