Crescent moon and venus

Kim was up before Sunrise and took this image of the crescent Moon and Venus in the south east, just over Kingston. It was gorgeous.
This newer camera is definitely more low light sensitive as this image at 1 sec exposure was better than the 15 sec exposures taken with our older camera, which showed a lot more noise as well.
exposure: 1 sec f5.8 ISO 400 FL 21.6mm original resolution 2816×2112 (6mp)

Below is a similar image from the 5 year old powershot A540 camera:
exposure: 15 sec f8 ISO unknown FL 5.8mm original resolution 2816×2112 (6mp)
