And, any idea how much these lenses would cost?

@Sunny Boi: hey Sunny please let me know what kind of settings did you use to click these pictures at night. i had tried something simillar but they dont come out to be as sharp. am sure you using a much better cam but any other setting apart from that.

@K2Cool_87: The two options that i feel should make you comfortable with are Panasonic Lumix FZ35 or Canon PowerShot SX20. Both are prosumers and ample amount of automatic as well as manual settings. Pesonally I would recommend FZ35 because you can attach lenses and filters on it, it can store images in RAW format and also it uses Lithium Ion battery back, so at one charge you should be able to take 400-500 shots and extra battery pack comes for as low as 400-500rs. So you keep a lot spare ones, and charging is also very quick.

Better lens. I'm using a Tamron 15-50 f/2.8 VC and those pics were handheld. One of the clarke quay pics is a 1.6sec handheld with the silky water surface.

If you're using a tripod, set the lowest ISO you can with the camera and take pictures in RAW if using a DSLR.
