Is manual focus at all useful on the Digilux 2 in very low light? I've used the Canon DRebel at ISO 800, underexposing by several stops shooting night scenes. The shadow noise just kills me - have to find one of those magic filters I guess. Here's an anecdote for ya: I was at a concert recently and the guy in front of me was shooting pics on his tiny digital P&S. His flash was going off but doing nothing to illuminate the stage, 40 feet away :-) Well when the shots came up on the LCD I could see that they looked fine! Even the super-duper light show pictures looked decent. I'm sure those were underexposed by more than two stops...
