The best setting is for a SLR or DSLR or any camera you can set the ISO, aperture and shutter speed. The magic formula is as follows for perfect night shots:

A tripod and cable release is a must. A half hour past sunset or half hour before sunrise on a mostly clear sky. Set the camera ISO at 100. Shutter speed at 2 Minutes. (this may require the BULB setting) Then the aperture is set at f/22.

Some of the pictures below are done with the technique:

How do you get a good night picture of Angel Eyes with a mid range digital camera?? (settings etc etc) - Camera BTW is a 5mp Panasonic Lumix

what do you mean by good? clear? ...most important is a steady hand! otherwise a tri-pod would be called for...and you need to be able to turn off the flash, so a manual mode is req'd....here's a few freehand...
