How well does this camera perform in low-light and macro-shot situations?

I find this camera very good. It does a well as any camera shooting low-llight pictures. You gotta have light to take pictures. I 'm not sure what a macro shot is. Hope this helps. Nice Camera performs Great. Randy

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

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

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. The G5 does surprisingly well in low light!

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

I have found that it produces acceptable images in fairly low light. I don't try to take pictures in almost total darkness so I have no experience there. Under a full moon it took acceptable pictures of animals in my yard. HTH

Yes, this camera performs well in low light settings.. You just need to familiarize yourself with the different settings (fyi - there is a setting for "low light"). I agree with Paul's response -- it does a pretty decent job even with the flash turned off.

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.

Seems to handle low light shooting (Especially with high ISO) very well: http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2012/10/09/night-time-street-shooting-with-the-sony-rx1-amazing-high-iso-samples/

I think the low light ability is fairly good. Once the light level drops below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to B/W.

I have not used it in a really low light situation yet. I have taken pictures in the shade and the clarity is excellent. I used the "Automatic" selection on the camera and I've been happy with the ones taken in the shade.

Thanks for your inquiry.Yes, it works extremely well in low light environment because of its High Dynamic Range sensor.

It rocks. It's low light performance is excellent and it's lens can reach out from the back of the hall. I used this camera to take stills at my son's graduation and get superior results. I did not shoot video.

I recommend this camera for macro shots, if you can check out some photos g+ sample with this camera, consider also that were processed in Adobe lihgtroomRecomiendo esta cámara para tomas macro, si tienes g+ puedes revisar algunas fotos de ejemplo con esta cámara, considera ademas que fueron procesadas en adobe lihgtroomhttps://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/115687426896842226487/albums/5739930695540431201

This is an amazing camera. The only thing it doesn't do is close Macro. If I'm not using my NEX7 or 60d, this is the camera I use, and alot of times I differ to it for the ease of useage & pic quality. For what you want , you'll be very happy & then some.
