1.5. Cameras for Night Photography

Fancy exposures modes are almost entirely useless in night photography, because you will be making manual exposures in almost every case. Some other high-end features are also irrelevant to night photography. Image stabilization, also called vibration reduction, will not help you—because night photography is done using a tripod. And auto-focus requires a bit of visible light to work, and mostly fails at night.

Camera requirements for night photography are pretty simple. That said, the basics are absolutely necessary.
