Anyone know if there is a good mirrorless camera that works well in low-light conditions? Sony A7R is getting good reviews generally for landscape work, but not good in low light apparently (noisy images). Could be an issue for sunrise/sunset scenes for instance? This is one situation where I'd like to be achieving better detail in, for example, dark foregrounds than I get with my current compact. Also, something that will handle strong light contrast in these situations.
Looking at DSLRs too, and have noted that Canon & Nikon will give me more choice of lenses at lower prices, but just want to see if I need to rule out mirrorless first, because the lower bulk/weight is quite a plus for me.

but I notice it only gives examples of Nikons for entry level DSLRs. What would be good Canon (and others) to consider?
The other thing it occurs to me that would be useful once I have the camera etc, is a set of exercises to follow to learn how to use it. A college course would be ideal, but outside of that, anyone know of anything online? I know I should just go out and experiment, but I thought if I had a logical set of steps to go by, it might make things less confusing?
