Wah.. not so serious lah. What cannot take nightshots at all? See my pics in my gallery below. Its all about control and how much you know your camera.
I agree that pics are somewhat noisy if you expose for too long, but the recent firmware patch improved things alot.
And what you pay is what you get. For a price of around 1k, you cannot expect wonders. If you want a DC that can take night shots well, plus IS and has 10x zoom, you can always pay another $600 for the Canon Pro90.

True that IS is a good to have. But I feel that there is no problem taking pics without it during daytime. As for night shots, I'm quite sure you'll need a tripod, regardless of whether your DC has IS or not, low zoom or high zoom. Other experienced C700 users in this forum like Tweek will agree with this I'm sure.
