Will this camera work in high sun light locations? Or will it be blinded?

If the sun comes up directly in to the camera, it will show up as a black dot until it is out of view. The lens automatically adjusts for light as much as it can.

It is a good option ONLY in outdoor daylight on a tripod. The 2x converter will eat up a lot of light and the 70-300 already needs a lot of light. Last this combination will struggle to auto focus on anything within 75 feet. Overall I think this is a bad idea

Camera works fine in low light. We have not noticed any problems with this.

In my experience this is definitely an issue. Very pronounced sun flares to the extent I am considering returning the lens. It is not always possible to "be aware of your positioning" to resolve the problem. Yes, you can take a picture of something else I suppose and turn your back on your intended capture if the sun is anywhere in the sky. I have used the lens at all times of day and it makes no difference.

The camera has to be infra red capable, or it will not work at night. You can set it up daytime, but you will have to check at night to see if the light is in the correct place.

Hello. Yes it does work in low lighting areas. In the menu you can set it to 3 settings. Daylight, twilight, & night. I have shot at different times of day and been happy with the results. ( But I guess it will depend on just how low you mean. ) Hope this is helpful.

The camera has not given me trouble with rain in the time of use (I live in Costa Rica is a tropical country with lots of rain). Regarding the night vision is well within walking distance.

It performs very well in low light, but not in a total darkness. It is not weatherproof.

Have not driven under those conditions but overall the camera has excellent low light capability. At night the camera view is always much brighter than the actual light level. I am very happy with the low light recordings.

not recommended if You need to place in a dark location. It's low light capability is limited. I placed it in an office that only needed to be viewed during work hours. Otherwise its a great camera.

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.

Seems to be very good as long as there is ample daylight. In low light situations focus and shutter response is slow (as with most digital cameras). Would rate above average.

You will not be able to get any images during the highttime because the camera does not have any type of flash. It is designed to take daytime photos only/

The one I installed seems to work as well when it is dark outside as daytime..It does vision cars at my gate well and also sees raindrops when it is raining.. It is a great camera for its price.. the only thing it does not have that I wish it had is audio.. bUt there are other cameras that have audio but the prices are much higher..

the camera should see what your eye sees if you looked out the window. so any reflections from the sun - lack of light will affect the camera as well as your eye - except these cameras do better in less light than my eyes do. that being said, if you can gimme a few hours till I can get home from work. i'll set mine up and test it just like that and let u know the results. I've been thinking about one for the back-yard myself & this is a good excuse for me to see if it'll work from the inside looking out. i'll get back w/ you in about 24 hrs.

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

I've installed the camera near a feeder which deer regularly visit despite a bright flash a night. While I've never had a problem with this camera, I do recommend mounting it a little high as I've had another camera with a bright flash attacked by a buck. I'm not sure if you can turn off the flash but I doubt if you could get night photos if you do.
