A slice of life in Winnipeg, this seasonal event is considered a "big deal" http://winnipeg.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20091114/wpg_santa_parade_091114/20091114/?hub=WinnipegHome

"Hand-Held-at-Night" Image. Because I was standing at the Parade's end, the sky was extremely dark by the time the Parade finally reached me. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised when my new little P&S was able to capture the nighttime motion; especially without any tripod or flash. There is noise, but one would expect the noise to be much heavier with this kind of camera under these lighting conditions.
