Yes
Took the kids to see Santa's Grotto and my husband handed me his S90 point and shoot so up upped the ISO to 800 to try to capture the ambient light and my brain thought that would suffice but even the slightest movement caused subject blur.

I guess point and shoots aren't good under low light conditions.

What my eyes and brain sees and what the camera sees are two different things.

I could have got some great shots if I had brought my Canon 40d or 550d but its a pain having to carry the camera bag everywhere.

What shutter speed did you use ？
 
In my front room, I can see clearly although its dim, but Im lucky to get a shutter speed of above 1/20 at ISO 1600 and f/2.8 on my D700.

If cameras were like eyes, we'd be shooting at 1/200 at ISO 10000 and get crystal clear pics
 
I just checked and the shots ranged between 0.30 sec and 0.50 sec f2.0 iso 800.

Touble was if I turned the flash on I'd get those awful flash photos that completely ruin the shots anyway.
