Don't use the automatic ISO setting, but lock the ISO value at it's lowest value! Using the automatic setting, fhe camera will boost it's gain, trying to avoid long shutter values, resulting in a very noisy picture. Since you have a tripod, you can get much better pictures by using a long exposure.

Both pictures here are taken under low pressure natrium lighting, giving an monochromatic orange cast to the scene.
The Sony has enough with half the light amount as the Nikon (f8 for both pictures, shutter is 2 seconds for the Sony and 4 seconds for the Nikon). None of the camera is able to remove the orange color, since the natrium light is monochromatic. Since there are no other colors in the picture than the yellow/orange cast, you could remove the color altogether!

To get the moving cars, you need use a small aperture, so the shutter time is increased. Don't forget the tripod! Use the timer function to trigger the picture (to avoid shaking the camera when pressing the shutter).

Another picture of Oostende at night. Light source in the foreground is high pressure mercury (giving a white harsh light).

There are some nice pictures (sunset) on the next page. I'll give you some more info on how to take good looking sunset pictures.
