You can even take night time pictures. Try that with a conventional film camera, unless you use special lenses. Its cool.
I tried this for the first time last night with a target of opportunity when Santa came through the neighborhood on a firetruck. Handheld quick shot on night setting without a tripod. Didn't turn out due to shutter speed, of course, but I was favorablely impressed with the light sensitivity and color. I'm planning on trying under the right conditions over the Christmas break.
