Hi, I have a Casio EX-Z1000 digital camera and whenever I want to take a twilight natural it doesnt come out in the way I see, it comes rather reddish and really dark-darker that you can see. There is a night filming option, which option if I use, the picture comes jerked off ie., the antishake doesnt work at all. Is this the common problem with every digital camera (or) it is that I dont know to use it? (or) is there any other digital camera that take good night pictures?
Also which is the best digital camera which offers best long distant zoom and provides for further enhancements?

there are sure cameras that take good night pictures. but you can also try it with yours using a tripod.

Since there are three classes of digital cameras, it is more a case of cost rather than function. The consumer (view finder) cameras cost about $350 and less. The prosumer cameras (SLR's) top out at $1000. And the professional ones all cost over $1000. I have a Pentax SLR that was under $700 due they had just come out with a newer model. As an x- pro photographer (got a real job several yrs ago) I've known for some time that Pentax has more bang for the buck when compared to the top three, Cannon, Nikon and Olympus, and also still have (and use) a Miranda SLR film camera. You can take twilight shots with a cigar box with a hole in it if you know what you are doing. The answer in your case is use a good steady tripod and a remote. My Pentax accepts two types of remotes, one wired and one I-red. The wired unit I found on the net for $11.00 (including shipping) from a dealer in Chicago and it works quite well and even has a lock function for use in "bulb" mode for shooting fire works as an example.

It might be time to step up to a better camera. You're wanting to take pictures that your camera can't handle so well. A DSLR with a fast lens (wide aperture) would handle twilight pictures much better. Meanwhile, try using a tripod and see if it helps any. Tinker with the white balance and exposure (increasing the exposure by a stop or two might help).

you are talking about "golden hour" images.
one : all cameras on automatic will struggle to give you a good result in such lighting,
two: as is usually the case knowledge of photography will do more for your images than another camera
three: as above use a tripod
four: dusty has no idea what he is talking about, proberly why he fell out of the business, hope hes happy in the rat race "real job". Me I prefer to work when and where i like.
