Does this camera have a light? If i'm in a dimly lit room, does this camera have a light like other camcorders or am I just stuck with trying to find some lamps?

No Video light, it only has a Flash used by the Still Photo mode. It has the high-gain mode, which brightens the footage. But you will need decent/extra lighting when shooting indoors for best results.

be sure it is not in silent mode. That is on first menu page at bottom left. Then the light menu should show up in the record settings menu

No this camcorder does not have night shooting capabilities. It does very well in low light conditions though. I have recorded street scenes very successfully with nothing more than the street lights themselves.

Yes, the camera works fine in normal light conditions. Don't expect amazing quality however. This model offers video recording only, not FPV.

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.

The camera does not have night vision. It is supposed to be a "low lux" camera, and the spec. sheet says 0.01 lux, but in darkness, my experience is this camera is fairly useless.

In a room under daylight without additional lighting the video is average. In dim light or darkness, the video can be marginal.

It has a built in light that you can turn on for night vision. It is different from night shot on previous cameras

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

I don't believe there is a light (weird) but when I turn it on, you can hear it. I still like mine for the price it gives a good sound!

Yes this does have night vision, or what is called NightShot infrared mode for lowlight shooting.The only problem that I had with this camcorder was when I played some old tapes that I have to see what was on them; when I first played them I had picture and sound, then when I played a different tape I had no picture or sound. I talked to a friend who works with video and TV, he said to play a tape from start to finish and keep doing it until there is a picture. I played the tape two times and then played one of my old tapes and the picture and sound was great. I am now very happy with this camcorder.

Do Not purchase. This camera does not perform as advertised. However works fine in normal light. To answer your question LED lights are barely visible. Hard to tell if camera working.

I have used it to film at night and this camera needs good illumination to record properly. It works fairly well as a car cam at night but it has a hard time in really low light conditions.

I did some experimenting. After dark, the ceiling lights and lamps were off in the living room. So the only light was coming from the television. I took several photos, without the flash and they look great!

Yes, it has a light, but it only works for still photography, not for video. More to the point this video cam will fail you. I loved mine and used it on a couple of vacations. Then one day it decided not to work like so many of the others that were reviewed. Toshiba does not support repair services for this product. I was out of luck.

this camera works in lighted places but in total darkness you will not be able to see anything, but you can try to use it with an Infared light as you know the infared will not emit any visible light but the camera will see it and I think you'll be happy with the results, I hope my humble opinion helps you and Happy hunting.
