I took my SD14 into Saint Eustache in Paris. Many pleasant surprises.
#1) ISO 50 with 18-50mm EX macro (@31mm) 10 seconds at f22.
I clamped the camera to a chair and used the sigma cable release. I was there during organ practice, and every time the organist hit a low note, I felt vibrations through the stone floor. Didn't seem to affect the focus, though. (Shooting for the ribs, not the windows):

#2) This is a VERY dark chapel and to the eye, it looks like there is very little color that isn't caked in smoke. Clamped the camera to a chair and only 2.5 seconds revealed more color and brilliance than I imagined possible! Same as above (@18mm):

#3) Then I thought I'd try some handheld shots at ISO 800:

F5.6 1/60s @18mm
I used Photoshop>Despeckle to clean up the little bit of noise in the shadows, then slight Unsharp Mask to bring back the edges. The lighting feels just right to me.
