How does the camera perform in low light situations?

Depends on definition of "Low" light. Inside buildings with artificial/natural light, works very well. In darkened areas where you think you might need a flash, it will still take very good pictures. The camera does give you a red warning if the light is too low to be acceptable with out flash.

It is an excellent camera and performs well for me in all light conditions. Buy it you will be impressed.

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.

No. Just setting for low light filming, which IMO are very good even when there is minimal light.

It has performed very well for me in low light situations. I have been startled a few times by the brightness of the recorded image. I usually use a Pentax 18-250mm lens.

It has no special light settings, but I used it on a dark overcast day and the images came out great. I have not used it at night, but I would guess that it would be equal to an average photo camera.

It's a little dark in bright light but seeing it hasn't been a problem for me, it is better than most camera's in bright light. The camera seems to be optimized to take pictures outside and in bright light. It takes very poor indoor pictures or pictures with dark lighting.

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.

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

No, the camera is very grainy in low light. It looks okay at first, but it is more noticeable when you zoom in a bit.

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

Yes I think there is although I have not experimented with it in low light. In the software you can configure the camera and go to the lighting tab and adjust the exposure settings. Not sure how that will work, but it is worth a try.

I'm really surprised at how well the camera does at low lighted events. I usually take both flash pics and no flash pics but find many times the pics taken with available light are better than with the flash. Hope that helps.

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.

It performs very well in low light, but not in a total darkness. It is not weatherproof.

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).

The low light performance is the best I've seen in this price range. I've noticed that in low light conditions that the auto focus can sometimes cause a few out of focus moments like when somebody walks through the shot slowly. I take videos of bands in dimly lit bars and they usually come out fairly good. If low light is critical, try doing a search for reviews on more expensive cameras.

althoug the camera is very capable at low lights, its capability is limited to slow moving subjects because the camera's sutter speed slows down to compensate with low lights.

it doesn't do well in low-light settings but it does do great when there's adequate lighting.
