Would this camera take just as high quality photos in daytime as in nightclub environments (w less lighting) ??

All cameras will be more limited in a dark environment, but for a small camera, this one does very well in lower light.

The bigger the sensor, the faster the lens, the better a camera's low light capabilities. This camera, for example cannot compare with the Sony A7S or most other full frame (large sensor) cameras. But for its size and price, this camera has no equal - you'll be surprised how good it is. I've taken very good pictures in low light with no flash, and even better ones with flash. It's the perfect camera to carry at all times. I highly recommend it.

No problems with the EVF and it is preferable in bright sun. I use the EVF about 90% of the time. That may be due to my familiarity from earlier camera use.

I dont think it will its a mid level dsrl so it light sensor isnt that strong. Also you going to be using a fast shutter speed so you dont have blurry photos which doesn't let a lot of light in. You probably have to get a more expenses one like one of the Mark canons. Overall for the most part thats what determines the cameras price

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

Good Question. I was at a party on Saturday and the lighting was bad. I snapped pics on auto anyway and they turned out pretty good. With adjustments manually I could have had better results but did all auto anyway. I have seen many pictures on Facebook from the same time and party and mine are 10 times better than the others..

I used mine in a daylight room and it worked fine. I was showing color and black and white photos. Tom

I have only used it in low light conditions at home, it takes decent pictures.

I bought this camera (ZS40) recently. In my experience, (I use the iA setting) the day time photos were very good although the night time (low light) photos were not very good; they had 'noise'. However, the video clips were very good and, I like the optical zoom of 30 times.

It would depend on the amount of light available and distance to the subject. In dim light conditions the camera has trouble focusing and video is not that sharp. I used it once during a new year's eve party and I did not like the result. I use this camera on very good light conditions only.

Is like The sun at 12pm... Blueish.... Any color temperature is good to shoot, youll have to balance The camera color any way

It can take good macro photos but has some issues attempting that in low light. Get a real macro setup if that's your primary interest.

i am pretty happy with the auto-focus mode, and that might adapt to the different lighting... additionally, I find it much easier to switch "scenes" on this one than my older S4 Coolpix. I have not tried anything indoors at concert type venues, so I can't give you a good answer on that.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.

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 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.

Daytime, if conditions are perfect and vehicle isn't too far away. Nighttime, no, plate reflects too much light back. Camera is really good during the day and night though.

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