Any idea as how this camera performs in shooting or taking pictures of indoor events like recitals..

The camera has the ability to shoot exceptional photos in low light conditions such as dusk in the evening. It has a built-in flash and a hot shoe to use to add light to the subject.

I don't like how it shoots in low light situations. BUT you can push the ISO in AV or TV mode and it should work OK. You may have to remove some digital noise in the editing.

The indoor pictures are actually of VERY POOR quality. Canon SD1000 takes decent outdoor pictures, but it's dreadful indoor, especially when it's bright enough and auto flash is off.I am disappointed... the indoor picture quality is WORSE than much older models, when we had 2MP at maximum resolution.For weddings, you shouldn't go for anything lower than a digital SLR.

Any indoor video is relatively poor unless ample window light is present. I would say it is sufficient for capturing family moments but not for quality video. Personally I like the little camera.

I want to purchase this camera, however, I would like to know if it takes pictures inside a gym on the auto setting. My neice plays basketball and I would love to use this camera.

I've only used it once for an acoustic performance. It was indoors and we used the Zoom H4N and the sound turned out beautiful and crisp. I would recommend it.

I should add that I have done night indoor photos of kids dancing with great results. No night game photos but I can't imagine it won't do a great job based on what I've done so far.

I've had ths camera about 3-4 months. It takes great close up &indoor; pics. Telephoto lens works well. Basketball game pics can get a bit blurry @ times. Comes with camera, strap, battery, charger & cable. Need to buy memory card

I only used it indoors once around Christmas time & the pic's turned out looking great! The G15 is definitely a great camera & very speedy at that. Very little wait for anything from shot to shot even when I use the flash when needed. I have a friend that has the G12 which is a good camera but this G15 is by far superior. For the money, compact size, it's well worth it. More on low-light just google it & look at the 1st few links which will have examples.

If you have a f/1.8 lens and decent lighting, yes, this thing is a beast indoors. Failing that, high ISO performance is good but not great, I wouldn't recommend going above 1000 if you can avoid it. I love this camera and for the price you can't do much better.

I tested it indoors and quality was fine. I imagine quality in daylight is better than artificial light...just like most cameras.

I've done some close up shots and it has performed well. I love this camera but I am not s professional photographer.

I have had no experience indoors. I use it for real estate pictures, outside. Its a great little lens for my work.

No. Here's a link to a video of probably the loudest event I've shot with it- so far. It may not seem that loud now, but I had to wear earplugs. What it will do is reveal weaknesses in the PA system and sound mix. In other words, if the sound is bad, it'll record it just like it is. If it's good, like in this video, it'll sound good later on playback. One of the main reasons I bought this camera was to record bands, and so far, so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLGa96YMLU

I have not but if this is your main reason for the camera I would not get this one. I noticed it does not have a sports setting. Also it depends on the environment you are shooting in, bright outdoors it will probably be okay but it has a small lens and sensor so i would not want to use it indoors. Also distance is important...closer the better.

Yes this is an awesome camera. I use it for concerts as well and it takes fabulous pictures. I wish I could share a few for you. Its light weight and the speed is awesome. Not a point and shoot. You will have make settings for each situation just like any DSLR. I love mine and intend to use it as my primary camera.

If you have a steady hand it's quite good. I've taken a number of shots at concerts, I try to zoom onto the lit area to keep the sensor from being fooled, but the quality is there.

So far I have taken two videos, one in a relatively dark room with couple of people dancing on a fast beat music and the other in day time but inside the house. Both videos are very good quality. I am overall pleased with the camera.
