How is this camera in low light?

This is a couple of videos I recorded with this camera. One of them has music, so maybe it's not available where you are or it might be muted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p0A7PTH4Is and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS50oNKP9Vg&feature;=youtu.be

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

I'm not a camera buff and don't understand the question. If the question is how does it do in low-light conditions without the flash - then, not very good.

low light recording is good as long as you do not zoom. The bigger the aperture of the lens the better quality of the picture

yeah there is actually a setting that you can use for low light. i've used it in the dark and you can't even tell that you took it in the dark

Hi Rosie, This camera has a good low light capability. However, it still depends on the lens you are using. We recommend using lenses with large aperture opening. -Anthony

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.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer. We have just started using it and haven't had the chance to use it in low light. We do think it's a really cool camera though.

As long as you are steady, it is a very good performer in low light. It also has a number of settings you can adjust for the low light situation, and I have gotten some great shots with it. It is excellent in movie mode at night.

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.

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.

Yes, I have been very impressed with the low light pictures. The only complaint I have is you can't force the flash on in auto if you want some fill in light. However, you can force the flash on in other modes.

Yes. It's a good camera in low light conditions. You can take the ISO very high and the auto focus does well in low light conditions. Good luck!

I've been very satisfied with the few low light photos I've taken so far by giving a little thought to setting up the shot and paying attention to the focus box in auto mode. I'm sure there are some override settings that would enhance low light shots but I haven't felt the need to use them yet.

The G5 does surprisingly well in low light! I am a bit amazed at the pictures I can take with street lights as the only illumination. There is sensor noise; somewhat more than with my Nikon D600, about the same as my Nikon D7000. Noise elimination post-processing cleans it up fairly nicely. On the other hand, consider that most Micro 4/3 lenses are fairly slow. So unless you get one of the fast lenses, you'll be using the "low-light" capabilities more than you would if you had a camera with an fast lens. The lens based anti-shake system works OK, but it's not as effective as some costlier systems, so a tripod is a must for "available dark" shooting.

I have taken at least 100 photos withe Sony CX260V. Daylight photos are acceptable but not the quality I would want if I was using a 8-9 meg pixal camera. Low Light shots are worse than expected. I am working with the camera now to learn how to use the manual features instead of auto features and have been able to make some improvements in picture quality. Even better on the video recording side using the manual feature settings versus auto. Basically - it is a decent HD video camcorder with a camera feature that is nice to have when you do not want to carry two cameras.

This camera takes good pictures in low light. for a point and shoot it is wonderful. If your Light is really low, I recommend a more expensive camera. The Canon Rebel series is a better camera, the draw backs more expensive, larger, heaver, more equiptment to carry, bigger camera bag and far more complicated. payoff, top of the line pics.The sx260 HD is light, easy to use, stores in you pocket and is ready right away. Its low light respones is good and it has a 20x optical zoom. Quite an amazing camera.
