No customer reviews?! How about night shots?? Does anyone know? I need a camera that captures sharp images in the dark on land or underwater

I own one, and have taken it everywhere since Olympus net it to me to review. I think the UW shots are pretty good, not as sharp as the Hero, but as sharp as my Lumix TS5. I have not tried night shots of the sky, but have shot outdoor parties. Samples: http://digital-photography-school.com/review-olympus-tg-850-tough-waterproof-camera/

Agree with Bob ring's comment. The only thing I am disappointed with is battery life is a little short sometimes. I have got some great shallow water pictures with it. Stills as well as videos. It is a lot of camera for the money. Do not try to change the battery with wet hands. Mine stopped working for a short time until I dried it out. I do really like it. I do recommend buying a couple extra batteries. I have taken around 6000 pictures with mine.

Hi Nancy, I love my tiny 300HS and have taken hundreds of photos and videos underwater all over the world with it. For that matter, hundreds more topside. I've had several U/W cameras/housings over the years (mostly Canon) and even some I made myself. This WP-DC41 and 300HS are winners. I've also purchased other UW cameras since: GoPro and Panny, but the tiny 300 wins. Hint: As you know, color is wimpy (mainly blue/gray) under water unless you use artificial lighting (strobe). The 300 HS built-in strobe is OK for close-in shots, but for more oomph, check out the inexpensive Intova UW slave strobe (search INTOVA). (Get the fiber-optic cable with it and tray). Happy diving!

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....

I have a cannon slr as my primary camera, so we didn't use this one at night. It was basically to use in water.Nice to have though.

Yes, Sony's Night Shot feature is actually the best thing on the market that I know of, as far as a video camera that's fairly priced for consumers. But, one thing to remember when filming in Night Shot mode is that you will need extra infrared lighting to "brighten" your recording, to record the video at it's best so you can see really good details in your video. Don't just rely on the camera's built-in night vision alone, get extra lighting like you see on TV. I have 2 extra infrared lights going when I film in complete darkness and it looks pretty good just like on TV (Ghost Adventure shows, etc) and I'm satisfied with the quality of Sony's video cameras.

They say the camera can go underwater up to 9.8 feet. i haven't had mine in water but I've had problems with the flash not working under dim light conditions. I think the camera is cheap with a poor operating program.Spend a little more money and get a better camera. I do not recommend it.

I don't have any answers, but share your concern about pictures in dark areas. I bought a Kodak EasyShare (DX 4530) a couple of years ago. It takes excellent pictures in bright light (outside). Indoor pictures are mostly crap. Are Kodak's newer cameras any better?

Non whatsoever - took great underwater pics. We love this camera for traveling- compact, east use and takes great pictures!

If you aren't using the NiteShot mode, it is very poor in low light. Extremely grainy and nigh unviewable. NightShot works brilliantly, though.

Hi, this Sony Cybershot doesn't have any infrared or night vision for taking images in the dark w.o the flash. -Ely

Friend the camera records very well in low light day. At night you have to putting on an extra lamp for darkness. and where artificial light very well ... records It is an excellent camera.
