What kind of camera is best for taking pictures at night?

There is no best, only the right one. The most basic requirement for shooting night scenes is that the photos can't shake. No tripod. Need large aperture or anti-shake lens, or improve ISO, which requires higher photosensitive elements and high signal-to-noise ratio; High ISo long exposure can also ensure less noise. Such a photosensitive element is the best. If there is a tripod, it depends on the imaging quality of the lens and the performance of the photosensitive element. Therefore, it is more appropriate to synthesize the above or SLR. Of course, with good technology, ordinary DC can also take good photos. If I have to recommend the best. I recommend Nikon D80+ Nikon AF-Sdx 18mm-200mm VR.
