The camera that is always with you might not be up to the job

Some weeks ago, in a lovely evening, we decided to do a short walk along the Guadalquivir river, before coming back home. It was one of those days when light is amazing, and the views of the Mezquita, the river, and the skyline in the evening were truly fantastic. So I thought it was a good opportunity to make a few pictures...

Its camera is rather decent with good daylight, but its limitations become fairly obvious under low light. And this was an occasion with wonderful, but low, light. So here I am posting some shots, which could have been terrific on my Fujifilm FinePix F30 or Pentax K10D, even if they are far from today's best cameras in low light:
