I have taken at least 100 photos withe Sony CX260V. Daylight photos are acceptable but not the quality I would want if I was using a 8-9 meg pixal camera. Low Light shots are worse than expected. I am working with the camera now to learn how to use the manual features instead of auto features and have been able to make some improvements in picture quality. Even better on the video recording side using the manual feature settings versus auto. Basically - it is a decent HD video camcorder with a camera feature that is nice to have when you do not want to carry two cameras.

It takes very good pictures. You need to have the auto flash on in dim light but the pictures come out well.

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!

The camera is very compact. Takes very nice pictures when there is good light. Battery life is good. The camera is horrible during late afternoon, night and low light conditions.

Not at all. Like most digital cameras, it is a great camera and it takes great pictures when there is adequate lighting.

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.

This camera takes sharp pictures in low light. I have some of the best pictures of my cats in low light without using the flash. Hope this helps.

It's a little dark in bright light but seeing it hasn't been a problem for me, it is better than most camera's in bright light. The camera seems to be optimized to take pictures outside and in bright light. It takes very poor indoor pictures or pictures with dark lighting.

I think the low light ability is fairly good. Once the light level drops below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to B/W.

Not at all, the pictures are high quality. My husband uses this for work. I have used it for work to record video and take pictures for our website. I have found in low light situations that it is best to leave the camera on auto, it truly can determine the best shot.

It does work in low lighting but it depends on the distance and if its on the manual modes. anything other then the manual...you will get grainy photos.

I have had the FZ70 for about 3 months but I have had great results from taking available low light shots (dimmed incandescent ambient light, indoors on very cloudy days, shadows, evening, darkened rooms at night, etc., no flash) in the iA and iA+ (automatic exposure) modes. I checked after and according to the file properties for those pictures the camera used ISO speeds in the 400-800 range. The pictures are very well exposed and lighting is even, and noise is not an issue. When necessary in iA or iA+ modes, in some low light situations the camera will take multiple exposures automaticallly (HDR) and combine them internally produce a great shot with balanced exposure levels. In the iA+ mode there is a wheel on the back of the camera that allows you to adjust the lightness of the exposure. Plus as you get acquainted with the many capabilities and menus on this camera you can set the shutter, aperture, ISO limits, etc. For those few people who have negative comments about this camera in low light situations, I'm not sure they are using the camera properly. There are MANY ways to adjust the settings for brightness even in the iA and iA+ and other modes.
