Does this camera work well in low light?

Simply put, no. You can still capture photos but will lose the light field features. We've used it for two nights in and out of music clubs and the streets of the French Quater and have gotten some great shots, but have tossed away many more low light photos

There is no built-in flash. Like any camera, a steady hand or tripod may be needed in low-light. In a recent software update, you can control the ISO setting, which helps a lot. The light field effect technically works fine in low light but not when the ISO is high and the picture gets grainy.

Hey how is the noise level in low light for video and pictures? Also can you tell me if there's a shutter lag?

Yes, this is very noisy in low light and above 400 ISO. I have a friend who takes simple family snapshots with the same camera, and it's fine for her. But for myself, and probably for you, the camera is just not good enough.

I have only used it in low light conditions at home, it takes decent pictures.

Seems to handle low light shooting (Especially with high ISO) very well: http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2012/10/09/night-time-street-shooting-with-the-sony-rx1-amazing-high-iso-samples/

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

The camera works well in just about any light. It has many settings and features that help with this. We actually have 2 of them now, the oldest being 2 years old. They both have been trouble free and take great pictures. We did, however, take a photography class to help us learn how to use the options and and get great photos. I hope this helps.

I agree that the camera does not work well at all in the dark but is fine in daylight and hope that will be upgraded or improved in future versions. Other cameras might work better for night but mine does go off if senses motion.

Low light pictures are excellent with this camera. I took a couple of pictures with my dog walking around under low light without flash. They came out fine

No. Just setting for low light filming, which IMO are very good even when there is minimal light.

Absolutely, the wide frame of view coupled with the low aperture should make it very simple to take photos in low light, provided you've got a camera that can handle the high iso!

Does pretty well in low light; however I always shoot raw and post process in Lightroom 5.

I have had amazing results in low light, back light, and practically no light conditions. The auto and advanced auto flash settings are great, and with flash turned off in low light conditions, the picture still shows up in focus with plenty of detail.

As long as you are steady, it is a very good performer in low light. It also has a number of settings you can adjust for the low light situation, and I have gotten some great shots with it. It is excellent in movie mode at night.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with the great results in photographing people in very low lighting conditions that I would have thought required a flash. Make sure you change the setting on the dial from A (for automatic) to P and turn off the flash unit when taking pics of people in low lighting.

I have used it to film at night and this camera needs good illumination to record properly. It works fairly well as a car cam at night but it has a hard time in really low light conditions.

I have found that it produces acceptable images in fairly low light. I don't try to take pictures in almost total darkness so I have no experience there. Under a full moon it took acceptable pictures of animals in my yard. HTH
