The quality is very good. the camera is able to adjust quite well and the image is very detailed.

The night quality was fine, but the unit overheated and quit working after one week, and I had to return it to Amazon. Their customer support is non-existent and the instructions including how to correct the date and time, were completely unintelligible. Don't buy it. Buy the BlackVue. I now have two BlackVues and they work great. Paul

The quality of the vide is not bad. My issue is that this equipment died altogether after only 4 months. And the customer service at Cowon was terrible. They haven't responded to my return request...I am waiting for 2 months now. The durability is highly questionable...and you may not get proper customer support.

Never looked at night recording. It's a great product. Put it behind your mirror so you can't see it. Little black box. Only downfall is you can't make it not record voices inside your truck.

Kitchen at night should be OK. Probably won't have that sharp HD look though. In your second example just make sure your subject is not silhouetted against the window and you should be all right. The camera is quite good at coping with most shooting conditions automatically. However, in my first week of using the HF100, in a darkened restaurant, I made the mistake of not turning the on-board video light on. I had read it is not very good and eats up the battery, but I should have used it. The video came out very grainy. Across a table for two is probably the best time to use it. I didn't shoot much anyway, so it wouldn't have used much battery. Oh well, I'll try it next time.

David, I have two Flip UltraHD 120 Black Video Cameras. The best quality comes with good lighting. Indoor lighting is not always ideal unless you have a lot of light. From my experience, the absolute best HD Quality Videos come from Outdoor lighting on sunny days. Even then, I've managed to pull of some spectacular night shots, and dark lighting shots (bars, restaurants, parking lots, outdoor). Zooming in will degrade the video quality, somewhat. Try to get close to your objects and avoid zooming if possible.

keep in mind that this is 1080p HD camera, so in my opinion, the quality at night time (in almost total darkness, the only lights are from my vehicle headlights) is VERY GOOD. You can see everything and anything clearly in the recording.

I have not tried these at night. I use them primarily for bird watching, for which they are excellant. But this is what I will; tonight or tomorrow night I will take them outside and see how they work in "low-light". Tom

Hi Mikieb: I'm sorry to tell you mine is the same during the daytime. I have not been able to adjust. It does show objects very well at night but during the daytime the only colors i can pick up are red, green and black. The other colors are distingueshed better than the black and white cameras, but not like watching tv. I havent been able to adjust for a clear color.

Night vision (infrared) is always black and white with cameras with the black being a bit less black than in daytime. It is perfectly normal. If you have bright outside lights you can most of the time just turn off the night vision and get good color video even at night. I have never tried to zoom during playback but if you get some video editing software you can cut individual frames from the video and blow them up as much as you want.

It's much clearer during the day than at night. The nighttime picture is B&W; a as opposed to color. I've never seen a monitor with crystal clear images at night.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

Yes, you have to adjust settings, but yes night pic are beautiful, also when zoom in pixels need to be changed otherwise it comes out boxy looking. However its easy to do. Read manual from cover to cover and you'll be a pro. Pixels are easy to adjust

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.

I can't answer your question. Every area we are using it in has at least low light even at night. I can tell you the picture is nice & clear and easy to make out in the low light

We have no issues with night pics. Video worked great for awhile, but I'm am filing complaint today. Both cameras are good for pics only at this point. Not happy.

Image quality during the daytime is fine; in sunlight, great and the lighting adjusts automatically. Nighttime, I find that viewing the camera in MJPEG mode rather than H.264 mode produces a more watchable picture. Still grainy, but not smeary as with H.264 in the dark. It's just the difference in how the image is encoded. This is not a very good camera overall for viewing in the dark, in general.

depending of what you are looking for...it didn't work out for me,because the picture at night was awful although the audio is great,day time image ok but night pictures very bad.so my answer is: depending of what you are seeking,they are pretty reliable.I CARE ABOUT NIGHT VISION ALSO NOT ONLY DURING THE DAY...MY OTHER SWAN CAMERAS WITHOUT AUDIO ARE PERFECT� SO I ADDED AN EXTERNAL AUDIO TO THEM.
