You would need to use the flash no matter what camera you purchase for action and sports shots to stop the action. You would also need to be close enough to the subject for the flash to do it's job. So it's more of a technique than being camera model dependent. This is a lot to ask for a point and shoot, you may want to look into a professional setup if you are really serious. Otherwise this is a great little camera for the money. Good luck!

Daytime photos/video are great. However, night time would be a problem...the quality is not good.... I would not recommend it for that purpose.....hope I helped answer your concerns...

I can't speak to indoor basketball shots but I did take action shots fully zoomed in of a dozen sea gulls swooping down for fish and it caught them like they were still. You also have advance control of shutter speed, aperture etc beyond the preset action function. I have had it for 6 months and could not be happier. The camera capability is amazing by itself, the fact that it's a smart camera is just a bonus.

I tested it indoors and quality was fine. I imagine quality in daylight is better than artificial light...just like most cameras.

The video quality outside and indoors is superb- I have 2 of these cameras in fact ( because I shoot videos and want to get 2 different angles at the same time) The resolution and quality is pretty sharp.. To be honest though, I only shot once in "low light" and it came out somewhat grainy BUT I cant blame the camera for that because I did not make any adjustments to the camera settings beforehand... For instance there is a tiny button called "light" which will emit a bright light onto the subject etc.. (which I had not done). I can tell you for the money this camera is well worth it and lasts a long time.. The one I purchased first ( 7 yrs. ago) is still working great!

Oohh good question. Unfortunately, I'm not the one using the cameras. I bought them for my teachers in my school. I will say they are really decent cameras and my teachers really like them in addition to taking pretty good pictures. I can ask my teachers about the options, what type of photo enhancement options are you looking for?

It did very well when I took photos inside at a college basketball game. I used the shutter priority for 1/400 speed. The "scene" sports setting was giving me 1/250 and 1/300. I'd post a picture, but don't know how. I was impressed.

Yes, the pictures it takes are great, provided there is enough light. If you purchase I would advise buying an extra higher capacity battery. The battery it comes with won't last longer than 2 hours. Otherwise it is a good, inexpensive video camera. I would recommend it.

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

It depends on the lighting. I have filmed indoors with decent lighting and when I upload it doesnt look hd either. Although when I am outside, the quality is very good

I have not but if this is your main reason for the camera I would not get this one. I noticed it does not have a sports setting. Also it depends on the environment you are shooting in, bright outdoors it will probably be okay but it has a small lens and sensor so i would not want to use it indoors. Also distance is important...closer the better.

It isn't bad at all! more of a camera for simple recording, i use it for recording sporting events in high light areas

Outdoor video is okay, as long as there is good lighting. The low lux on this particular brand is not all that exciting, making playback of videos taken in low light situations somewhat fuzzy and greyish. The zooming qualities should work fine for sports, although you shouldn't expect the quality as compared to that taken with , lets say, a 14 0r 16 megapixel camera. Hope this was helpful.

I am not sure....image/video is decent if lighting is decent. Otherwise it's dark ish (not totally bad). Hope this helps your decision.

In moderately lit indoor conditions, it looks perfectly fine. The darker you get, the less quality it is (obviously, ;D). For example, I'm in a room with no lights, a single window, on a rainy and cloudy day. The small amount of light coming in is surprisingly enough for the camera to get a decent picture (but I wouldn't want to film anything professionally without first turning on some lights). You can adjust the exposure yourself, which does improve the quality to an extent, but over exposure looks rather funky (on any camera). In the end, it's A-OK for a moderate to poorly lit/naturally lit room. Any darker than that and the camera has trouble focusing and getting decent quality. There are also several pre-set lighting conditions too which are rather useful. Combining those with manually white balancing and adjusting the exposure myself, I was able to greatly increase the quality of the picture compared to the auto-settings. But of course, the camera really is at it's best on a sunny afternoon. The picture quality is great when you're filming outside or in a well lit room. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot!
