How well does this camera film at night?

That depends - how dark a night are you filming in? Is there any other source of light on the subjects being filmed? How far away is the subject being filmed? This is not a camera designed for very low light situations - there are others (much more expensive) that do that if that is your primary need.

I have not used it at night but it works well at dusk. Cant beat it for the price. You want something that works at night go gen 3 night vision or thermal, but $$$

I have used it at night on light city street and the recording is quite clear but have never used on a dark country road. I live outside of NYC so all of the streets are light up. Hope this help you. For the record recording during daytime is excellent. A good buy.

It's great. I use it for weddings which happen always at night time in my country. there is a bit of noise but way better than it's rivals in the market in my opinion. Don't compare it to a DSLR because that's an unjustified comparison.

Since this is a very good camera what you might want to do is some research on lighting that you can attach to it for night lighting. There is only so much that can be done at night as should be known. There are some really good lights now being produced such as LED.

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

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.

it's night performance is WAY better than I expected, it gives a good contrast with noiseless in low light conditions. use a tripod for better results. but keep in mind that you are not using a DSLR.

Camera takes good pictures with daylighy but dont expect much at night or artificial light. Lots of fun taking pics at and under water...

The only night time shooting I have only Ektar 100 at is sunset and it has great color saturation for that. Once the sun goes almost down it is not the speed of film to have in your camera. I mostly use Ektar 100 for daylight landscapes or buildings. I hope that answer helps you.

I have had pretty good luck with night shots, however it only works if there's a little light to work with. I have put my camera in an area where there's a lot of over growth and No moon light and my pictures are also dark.If the area is open and there's some light to work with its pretty good in my opinion.

Its actually not too bad. I use mine all the time in low light situations, but with any camera the lower the light your filming in it will start to look grainy. This camera comes with a light you can attach, so all you need to do is turn that on.

It's very good compact camera. It has pop-up flash. As all compact camera it's not specifically designed for night shooting. If night shooting is very important, go to the more powerful SLR cameras. They have bigger sensors and can use external flash

It may be defective the one I have has a decent black and white image at night. You most likely won't see a light from it it records using infra red lighting at night. If it's not recording anything you pro bubbly have a bad camera.

It takes fine pictures at night. It isn't SLR quality, and occasionally even my iPhone does as well, but where it really shines is under water. We dropped ours in 36ft off of the bow of our sailboat and it did fine, even after spending several hours down there until we could recover it (no dive gear on the boat and that is beyond my free diving capability). It is still a point and shoot with a small lens. I am happy with it, but it is far from a perfect camera. Our Canon SLR is superior, but that is to be expected. Its a great travel camera for those active moments where you can't take an SLR.

It will record at night, but the image quality is poor at best. It does not really have night LED's. The length of time the machine will record depends on the size SD card one installs in the unit - 8GB - 16GB -32 GB. Once the card is full the unit will re-record over what was previously recorded.

I have not tried night-time recording, but I will now that you mentioned it. My experience with poor quality in low light is in my basement. I have two lamps with 60-watt bulbs in a fair-sized room. The result is a grainy image and inconsistent color rendering.
