it will take very nice indoor and low light photos, in low light you will need to hold it steady or use a tripod as the shutter stays open for longer, it does have a flash that needs to be manually flipped up to be used, and will flash if it needs it. I have not taken any photos of indoor concerts myself, though it does take good pictures of fireworks, and things of that nature. There are settings for all kinds of different situations and can take some very clear professional looking photos. The battery life is also excellent i have taken it on trips for several days and not needed to recharge it until i got home.

I bought my Olympus to take on vacation.....it works great indoors and out! It's easy to use and takes great pics (with or without flash).

It takes good pictures, but if you want to use the zoom feature, you will need a tripod. The stabilization isn't good.

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

I have had pretty good luck with night shots, however it only works if there's a little light to work with. I have put my camera in an area where there's a lot of over growth and No moon light and my pictures are also dark.If the area is open and there's some light to work with its pretty good in my opinion.

Donald, do you have some low light (indoor pics) you can post taken with the ZS7? Thanks.

This camera has a couple of shooting modes. It is capable of taking a single shot or choose a mode that will take multiple pictures with a press of the button. There are plenty of shooting modes in the menu. My only issue with this camera is indoor pictures seem to be a little out of focus at times. Hope this helps.

Mr.V, if you can't get good pictures indoors with the A630, please have the camera checked. I can get perfectly good shots by the light of a single candle. Something's not right if your camera is blurring everything indoors.

I see your post from a few weeks back. Great question. Have you made a purchase yet? I am also seeking a quality camera for indoor sports events without flash.

Hi there,I just purchased the DR XT/Black. Not recieved it yet. I'm wondering how well the indoor & night pictures turn out?

The low light performance is the best I've seen in this price range. I've noticed that in low light conditions that the auto focus can sometimes cause a few out of focus moments like when somebody walks through the shot slowly. I take videos of bands in dimly lit bars and they usually come out fairly good. If low light is critical, try doing a search for reviews on more expensive cameras.

We have no issues with night pics. Video worked great for awhile, but I'm am filing complaint today. Both cameras are good for pics only at this point. Not happy.

I have never taken pics at a concert with this camera. However, all pics taken inside in different lighting conditions have turned out fine. The camera will tell you if flash is needed, which I think it would be if at a concert.Hope this helps.

I have been through the Powershot SD500 and the G7. My sister has the G9 and we have not have issues with those cameras. Yes, my old SD500 still has issues with low light and I have worked around that having it for this long. It was just time for me to try out Casio and see how the new FC100 did. No, I have not tried video yet but I hope to get a chance in next day or two to let you know. being in a gym shouldn't be a problem as they "usually" have good light but don't take my word.

Why not? This camera is great at night shots...excellent in low light. We just got back from Tahiti with 500 or so wonderful pictures.

I gave this camera to my Goddaughter and she took it to a one direction concert. The pics were excellent. So in answer to your question......YES!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

This camera will take indoor photos. You may need a tripod if not using the built-in flash and you are not too steady holding the camera.

For me, there is kind of a long delay. It doesn't really take photos fast. Also, when it is not zoomed in all the way, it doesn't take as good photos as it does when it is in full zoom (weird). Also, the quality of the photos indoors are not that great. The quality of the photos outdoors are better.

I do have this camera, and I have taken it to arena football games which have a lot of movement. I got GREAT pictures. It does not have image stabilization, but you can easily take shots of moving objects by adjusting the PASM levels and modes on the camera. Such as your shutter speeds, lighting, etc. As for dark area pictures, I took pictures of my dog in the dark and it looks like I took the picture in a well lit room. Just use your flash when you take photos in the dark, whether it is inside, or outside. As for the video, for a little camera, the sound and quality are impressive. JJ
