yeah defo shoot in colour^^^ as you can take colour out etc
but its worth keeping in mind that if you shoot in raw you can preview the image in black and white on the camera but the file stays colour when you take it to the computer. at which point then you can convert it.
i always do that when intending to get the final shot black and white. high iso can look good in black and white too, the noise and grain can add character to a black and white shot quite nicely.
for what its worth also, if you want to try flash its best to dive in. expensive gear but i personally use a flash about 90% of the time now, its rare that i don't use a flash since the results are so good

if you want a photo in the dark what you essentially need is light.
you achieve this either with;
a flash (you need some skills for good results with a flash though)
leave the shutter open for longer to let more light in
have the aperture wide open (think of the aperture as your pupil - it gets wider the darker it is to let in more light)
or you have a higher ISO - ISO is basically the amount of light sensitivity in the sensor.
those are the things you need to balance essentially. they all have different causes and effects which will change the image in terms of how it will look and quality. so you need to get the mixture right for what you want.
id suggest getting a bridge camera, second hand all the way, you can get a decent second hand one for the price of a new pocket camera.

picked this up at a booty for £20, already knocked up 20+ miles on it since Sunday - nice to have a tall bike with gears that does some speed and covers ground for once. been riding only bmx's and single speed traily things since about 1999 might spray the frame white but I'm undecided, white tyres would look cool with a red frame I thinks.

cheers! well it kind of actually only cost me £3! i bought another fairly rare one at a bootfair for £3 and swapped it for this - the guy at the other end did all the courier bits so postage was free too! bit of a result. but if you wanted to buy one you can get them relatively cheap on ebay atm, sub £100 but the average price i would say to be about £160. in 2004 one of these sold for £365 on ebay. if youre lucky enough to find on at a boot fair or somewhere you could get it for about £10-20. there are plenty of cheaper ones about though if you don't mind looking around check out www.stereo2go.com

yeah dmc 12, they're obviously not the same in every respect but its the same 2.8 prv engine i believe, only its been breathalised upon.
i only know this due to the local delorean specialist also specialising in these partly for this reason
