How well is this camera in low light conditions?

I received your camera Eos 1D mark II, first times machine and body cover it ok, but i checked numbers shot more than 137000 shots, so much. Le Cong Tinh

To use this camera in low light, your ISO must be between 800-1600, shutter speed between 30-80, and aperture 4.0 depend on the lens.or use a great speedlite like Canon 430Ex ll or higher.

Bearing in mind this is 10 years old now but at the time I was very impressed. I was on board a 7000 GRT (grossed registered tons)seismic vessel in about a metre to 2 metre seas. It was around 4 or 5AM in the morning. I was taking photographs of an oil rig with ISO setting at 1600. The photos were not exactly pin sharp but would be good enough for corporate newsletter or even A3 poster I reckoned.

Lets face it the Canon EOS-iD Mark II was released in 2004, and Clearly the Canon 1D2 was the very best for its time. Its now 10 years later, and there are many cameras that have FAR SUPERIOR low light and color rendition that a device engineered 12 years ago. Knowing that one can buy the 1D2 for under $500, your money is much better spent on a Canon 7D, which has excellent low-light performance. I highly recomment that you do NOT buy any 10 year old digital camera. It seems that every 2 year there are amazing improvements, so take advantage of the most current model. Todays Canon REBEL is superior to the 1D2 in Color and Low light capability. Currently my pick for the most optimal cost/performance Digital is Canon's EOS 5D Mark III. Marilyn and I covered an auto show last weekend, take a look at the shots taken with a 5D and Canon D650, the link is www.416-1100.com Later this year I will likely move back to the 1D cameras as I miss the Audio file for captioning images. I cannot take notes when I'm covering an event, and the 1D record button lets one attach an audio file to each image, or any image... I changed to the 5D3 because it was lighter and more compact, but I always use the Battery grip, so that defeats the size/weight consideration. Jim.Wilson

I bought this camera right after Christmas of last year, and it performs very well. In terms of low light, the body can expand to 3200 ISO. Low light conditions is also dependent on the lens you are using and not just the camera body.

I love the camera it was a good step up from the older Rebel. I shoot allot of action sports photography and it works great when I shoot in a gym that is poorly lit and you can't use a flash during the game. I use a 70-200 f2.8 lens and I get good Basketball photos. I want to upgrade to the 1D mark4 as soon as I can afford 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.

No this camera do not work well in low light. If you need it to make good pictures it wont work for you. I bought this tablet about a month and is fast for what I use it, mail, read books, videos. I recommend it but not for the cameras.

When there is decent lighting the image is great....this is not a night time or low light camera....there is a low light version but it has a narrower field of view..... I have 3mp hikvisions and dahuas, this is not as good, but still works well considering that it has built in mic and speaker....

Very good in low light situations - rarely have to use the flash indoors-eh!!

No, the camera is very grainy in low light. It looks okay at first, but it is more noticeable when you zoom in a bit.

Are you using it in a low light situation? If the camera goes high ISO will likely see a lot of noise.

This camera is great in low light settings. Crank up the ISO settings (or set to automatic), and it does a great job indoors. One of my favorite features of this camera. Lenses all depend on what your shooting. The basic zoom does a pretty good job. If your going to shoot outdoors any, or at kids plays and programs, a longer zoom is a good addition. I also have a fast 50mm fixed lens for indoor shooting of portraits and macro photography.

Yes, you can get pretty good pics under low light conditions. I've tried similar cameras, and I didn't get better quality pics than the ones I've got from the WX50.

Yes it's great in low light. I've taken pictures in pitch black with the flash and they turned out great!

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 think for how much I have paid, it is a very decent camera. It is pretty clear in both day time and night time. If you want to spend less than 100 dollars, this is probably the best you can buy.

my camera takes good pictures in low light ,I wish it had a phase for when you are taking movies

The pics in low light are excellent....and the built-in flash, should you care to use it, is compensating!

It has an APS-C size sensor, so if you are comparing it to a small point-and-shoot, it is much, much better at low light. The ISO can be cranked up pretty high, though I try not to use anything over 6400. With the kit lens at f/3.5 (or f/5.6 full tele), low light performance is decent, though a faster lens like the SMCP-DA 50mm f/1.8 would increase the performance even more.

It takes decent pictures w/o flash but not in super low lighting conditions.
