does it take clear shots at night

It does not take pictures at all at night. It runs from sun up to sun down only.

It does pick up any light that is out there but at night, without any light source, it is hard to see. Not a big deal IMO since you you should not shoot at something if you cant see it....the main thing is that it actually works at 100 yards and is fairly accurate. I was surprised.

Hi Nolan, this Sony HDRCX900/B has a Night Shot feature which emits infrared light to take images on a total darkness. -Ely

Full color during day and very clear imaging but black and white for night time. For the price it is well worth it.

Yes, it will throw light at night. Be aware of the inverse square law which states that the intensity of light decreases with the inverse of the square of the distance. In English, it will illuminate a person standing close to the camera, but it will not iluminate the mountains in the background. You will get the most pleasing light patterns if you swivel the flash head and bounce the light off a nearby surface, which will reduce the harshness of any direct flash. It's a cheap flash, it throws a decent amount of light. It's suited to the amateur market, not of professional quality.

Yes this camera takes awesome day or night photos. In color is the part we enjoy. Others using night vision are ok but only a black and white type picture at night. We found the Deer seem to notice the infrared light more this has a bright flash but doesn't seem to scare them off. Hope this helps you decision.

yes it has good day and night clarity, but I must say that I have some Mace 420 TVLs that can match these during daylight. Night time is when these perform very good you get very little hazy within its IR range, which is about 30FT. The IR range is farther then 30FT, but the clarity drops significantly pass that and facial features are not refine.

Yes it does very well, and protect it very good too but there is a problem taking pictures at night because the hole it is not big enough when the photo is taking with flash because it give like a shadow.

If you mean night vision by low light conditions then its pretty good for that. You would have to shoot it open around f1.2-1.8 even f2 its great. The large aperture gives you the ability to do so. Your DOF will be a bit shallow but the ability to shoot faster with a lower Iso will make up for it.Also remember its a manual focus lens.

yes, if you see all the clear led's around the camera lens, those do IR for viewing of short range. I do not own this but in other cameras I own the quality is decent for about 10-15 feet at night

It does take photos at night, and it will flash when it does. It sort of looks like a lightening event.The photos are as good as a small digital black and white camera can be. You can recognize most animals and some of the pictures I got with it were pretty cool. This is a good beginning camera for trail cameras.

Yes and no. The camera has a set of IR LEDs that allow it to see at night. You will have not be able to see what is going on at night unless you do what I did and tape off the LEDs using black electrical tape. What happens is the IRs hit the glass and at night it acts like a mirror and blinds the camera. Without the LEDs it works fine during the day and at night it works decently with ambient/porch light. You could also get an IR LED array for fairly cheap here off amazon and point that into your yard as well. That way it would have pretty good B&W; night vision.

Yes! It has both normal camera vision and night camera vision. Picture is pretty clear both times!

It does. I think that is what makes the entire picture look hazy. When I tried it outside...no need for the flash...it didn't haze as bad, but it still left the circular obstruction/shadow at the bottom, no matter how straight I positioned the camera.

yes, it does. I can take about 30-35 shots before the temperature light starts to flash and renders your unit to stop working until it is cooled.
