High ISO adds more noise (or "grain). Use 100 and a tripod.
If you are using a DSLR from Canon for example, put the camera in P mode (Program Auto Exposure). If you don't have a remote shutter release use the 2 second timer to avoid "camera shake" from your hand pressing the button. And the tripod is an absolute necessity for night or low light shots. Don't even bother with high ISO point and shoot.
As you get more practice, experiment with full manual for longer exposures.

Dunno how high end your referring to....
I will be purchasing a DSLR sometime this year to finally begin playing with photography (always wanted to do this) but in the meantime I only have a Canon SD900 Digital Elph and the manual mode goes all the way to ISO 1600 (albeit a bit noisy, but that can be corrected to a degree) but would be able to step to 800-1200 no problem at is does pics @ 10 megapixel. This camera can be had for around $300... my DSLR choice is a Nikon D80.

I was thinking Digital SLR also. I have been using an 8mp for the past
few months - actually the Panasonic DMC-FX55 28mm wide-angle and have been impressed with it as a lightweight point and shoot but I want to be able to do more with pictures, especially in low light conditions. I've always liked Canon so I may go toward the EOS XSi for a little more control and I like the Nikon's a lot also. Add to that - a tripod - lol
