Yes you can use it in concert and low light but not from great distances. In low light I would say not more than 20 feet and best distance about 15.

Yes,you can,but you're limited in range and focusing is all about the shooter,and not AF.

Judith; I have primarily used the camera for still /semi-still pictures. I have a friend who uses hers for live action at rock concerts and gets outstanding results. Hope this helps, R

Absolutely!!! It's a great live Music recorder. You have the option also of reducing the sensitivity of the Mic for recording sounds in high decibel areas such as concerts , which helps in reducing distortion. In my opinion a collector's item .

Works great in low light, but depends on the lens you use and what your shooting.

I don't typically take many videos on my camera unless it's at concerts. So from concert videos, its hard to tell how the focus is because there's so many lights on stage. The sound quality is alright, I was hoping it'd be a little better.

I don't think you can get the full 10x zoom, but you can get enough zoom, I wouldn't recommend it at a concert, the pictures come out a little blurry, it's meant to be used underwater, pictures underwater come out really good.

It depends on your definition of low light and picture use. I love the results, I shot at a school musical (Les Miss) (GX7 + 20mm f1.7) with excellent results (I can send you originals for your review at your request). The BEST option for low light will be a large format camera with very bright lenses, (maybe a Hasselblad?). I don't like to set the ISO over 1600, but the camera goes up to 25000. What is your current camera?, what will you measure the results aganist? What is your budget?, What will the pictures be used for?

I don't think you are going to get good recordings of loud concerts with any recorder using this Mic. You would need a more professional device.

You can use this as strobe to illuminate your photos. You can to buy this for photos that need more light. Studio or outside are examples. Hope I helped.

I don't like how it shoots in low light situations. BUT you can push the ISO in AV or TV mode and it should work OK. You may have to remove some digital noise in the editing.

yes. this is a good camera in low light.I used sensitivity up to 6400 and I got good noise all the way through

I would personally want a lot more light for video. I think this is better for still shots with a camera on a tripod and a slow shutter speed.

Yes, I have used this lens for all of those purposes and it performs well. Although you might want the faster f2.8 lens if the indoor performances don't have adequate lighting. I have not regretted buying this lens at all.

Hello Steve, this is not a good choice for low-light conditions. It only works in daytime, or indoors with good lighting.

This camera should work just fine for photos in this type of lighting. I would just suggest you use a tripod to ensure the pictures are sharp.

It is ready for studio light (Bowen or so, depends on what you get). If you want to use speedlight (oncamera flash), it is also possible, but more tricky.
