I have a cannon slr as my primary camera, so we didn't use this one at night. It was basically to use in water.Nice to have though.

Not still used the flash but when you know the quality of Olympus products if you put your camera on a tripod I am sure you are going to be very happy with your work.

I have not taken any non-flash night shots at this point in time. Am certain using a tripod and remote shutter release or time release will provide acceptable shots.

In my limited night shooting experiences, as always, it is best to play around with the settings. I still have nothing but trouble when trying to shoot fireworks, but as far as portraits go--all good. I prefer the candlelight setting for most low light environments and have had no problems. My focus subject is lit, but you can definitely still tell that it is a night time shot. As far as longer exposure subjects (i.e. fireworks, moon, etc), I still have trouble but I am guessing that it is my limited knowledge on the proper way to handle these situations, not the equipment. I am still thrilled with this camera several months later! In my limited night shooting experiences, as always, it is best to play around with the settings.

Not 100% sure, so far all of the pictures seem to turn out great but I haven't taken that many at night time yet.

I have been impressed with the picture quality of low light and flash subjects so long as I'm not trying to cover too large an area. Not having an adjutable aperture and shutter naturally limit low-light capabilities of all point and shoot cameras. But, within those parameters, the Olympus TG-820 is at least as good as expected.

Was it already night time? I found that it does not take good shots at night, they all come out blurry

This camera has stopped working and is about to be returned. I'am reading up on the process of how to return said item. However, the night viewing is of good quality. The sony 700tvl is also a camera with good quality. 36iR leds are a must.

yeah there is actually a setting that you can use for low light. i've used it in the dark and you can't even tell that you took it in the dark

Resolution is not 1080p but very good and clear. The night vision is really good . Good enough for a convection on a burglary at my business.Local police talked about how good it was but not good enough to read a license plate in the dark . You will have to spend alot more money than this if that is what you need !!!

Mine does not look foggy well with night vision is not as clear as with the sun out, you must like in a well lite area to get a picture at night without night vision. No zoom during playback.

No. Night vision is all black and white (more grey). Fairly good pictures, though.

The camera does not have night vision. It is supposed to be a "low lux" camera, and the spec. sheet says 0.01 lux, but in darkness, my experience is this camera is fairly useless.

I have not tried night time pictures yet, the pictures I have taken are very good though, I would imagine night time would not make too much difference. 16 MP and a very compact design are the highlights as well as the lithium rechargeable battery. Very economical, and a very good overall camera.

I have been using this camera for a good bit of time now. In my experience, the low light capabilities are acceptable for me, but it is not super by any means. With headlights and streets lights it works reasonably well. Even the colors like the sodium vapor street lights and the traffic signals show well. Don't count on moonlight for good performance. Its not anywhere as good as night vision technology in comparison. Don't expect that.

The image resolution is ok however outside light needs to be on for better viewing at night.

If its not in a well lighted area then at night the picture will be black and white, and not as clear when during the day in color.

It has no special light settings, but I used it on a dark overcast day and the images came out great. I have not used it at night, but I would guess that it would be equal to an average photo camera.

If you do not care about the resolution or quality of the pictures then you may be alright with it. Just make sure the room of viewing is very dark as well. This item is very inexpensive but like the saying goes" You get what you pay for! "

The image is pretty good. I don't notice any bluriness, the only spot it loses detail is the very brightest part, because I adjusted the image settings to show more shadow detail. Zoomed in, sharp lines are just 2-3 pixels wide. Small details in the wall texture or tree trunks show just fine. At night it shows a good image under street lights, but note that it is not infrared or "night vision."

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.
