How does it perform in low light?

I prefer to use available, ambient light for practical reasons which I will not elaborate upon here. So I tend to purchase "fast" lenses and employ cameras which can operate at reasonably high ISO's without introducing exposure degrading electronic noise. I have found that the Alpha 850 and Alpha 900 perform decently at quite low light levels, if combined with lenses which have f/2,8 and faster capabilities.

Satisfactory, but look out for noice. My main reason for choosing the A850, was the posibility of using all my old Minolta AF lenses to get sharp photos.

Full frame cameras function better in low light as compared to APS-C sensor cameras. The biggest factor in low light performance is the lens. A faster lens with perform better in low light due to the wider aperture.

Fair!... I have used this camera at an ISO setting of 4000 in candle light and it worked very well. The Lens was a 70-200 f2.8. I was over 100' from a wedding couple lighting candles and could not use a flash. I nailed it! The Canon 1D does better and I say that because I've used both but when the settings of a900 or a850 are correct, you can have jaw dropping clarity... Hope this was helpful

Low Light Performance indoors is good in my opinion. The flash works great. I can finally take photos indoors in really low light, without having to turn on all the lights in the room. Zoom is great also. I really love this camera. I really wanted to take action shots of my dogs running and playing. And the action shots are incredible. No blur. Really crisp.

The times i have used in low light it has surprised me. I took a picture with my galaxy S2 in my living room at night with just the T.V on and no lights which turned out dark and couldn't see anything. But when i used the Casio and selected low light it was like i took a normal picture just slightly dimmer but still amazing quality. I have not tried it in pitch black but where normal cameras fail it pulls through with clear pictures.

I can't answer your question. Every area we are using it in has at least low light even at night. I can tell you the picture is nice & clear and easy to make out in the low light

I think you will be pleased with the results from this screen with your setup. I've been very impressed with mine. It works very well in low light and decent quality in medium light.

HI. Yes, it's bright enough to use in low or very low light - I hope this helps. ken

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.

It copes pretty well, but you should operate under low loght conditions in manual mode.Personally, I am satisfied with the way the camera behaves in low light situatuions, but it depends on what do you expect - it is one step above the majority of the point-and-shoots cameras(as the model is indende to be).For example, I got some amazing photos and videos of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan sceneries during night from the Hudson river.Generally speaking, I can say: yes. :)

Check out this photo I took this year in Paris, using low light mode. I think is impressive and IS controls help out a lot! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jCrhEGtCCKQ/UBdPMbQMzgI/AAAAAAABv6Q/SDUfc6ClpBo/s800/IMG_1850.JPG

It is an excellent camera and performs well for me in all light conditions. Buy it you will be impressed.

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.

It can produce fairly good images at low light but resolution is not too high to begin with and there needs to be some light; pitch black and it won't see anything (no surprise). If identifying faces is important, I would not use this product unless it is in a well-lit area.

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

Yes - it works fairly well in low light. It will work in a squirrel house without trouble

In that kind of environment, where you're standing in the dark but the kids on stage are lit, it performs very well. In fact, we had a concert at my church a couple weeks ago and I shot in those precise conditions... and the pictures turned out great! Oh... don't be afraid to bump your ISO, even up to 3200, and you should be fine. ヅ

Hi Rosie, This camera has a good low light capability. However, it still depends on the lens you are using. We recommend using lenses with large aperture opening. -Anthony

Yes, this camera performs well in low light settings.. You just need to familiarize yourself with the different settings (fyi - there is a setting for "low light"). I agree with Paul's response -- it does a pretty decent job even with the flash turned off.
