Just a small finding from my experience.
I noticed, that at night, when you are trying to make photos on the street (good light from street lamps) pictures tend to come overly bright. This happens when you use:
- Scene mode: Auto (default),
- ISO: Default,
- Exposure: 0 (default).
If you want more realistic and better detailed photos, you need to play with different ISO and Exposure levels.
Here is a small example:

Too bad skydrive will not give you picture properties, like ISO, exposure etc...
You will find three different levels of exposure here: 0 (default), -1, -2
Also, the very last picture was done with ISO set to 100.
My advice is, that you will never get a good result at night if you limit yourself with default settings - lights and surroundings are too bright (that is when you have a good lighting).
Playing with camera settings will give you better, more interesting results.
I am no camera expert, just wanted to share this with some examples
