How does tthe FP8 perform in low light or at night?

Not so great. People's' phones did better than this camera--and that was years ago!I was also disappointed in the poor zooming capability.

It's not that good but in its class it's ok. If you want a small, pocket sized point and shoot digital camera you should be ready for lousy performance in low light. Unfortunately bigger sensors and better lenses are the keys for better low light performance.

I found it did a good job... provided you manually changed the setting for low light. Automatic settings were terrible.

Hi Linda,We have used this camera extensively at many varying lighting conditions and have always been very satisfied with the results. The amazing part is that I have always left the setting in automatic and used the factory defaults. Someone with a bit more expertise that I, can get much more out of this camera. For the technically challenged, as am I, this is a great camera that does everything extremely well. Enjoy.

It isn't bad in low light, just use a wide angle lens to use as much light in the area as possible and you shouldn't have any problems.

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

I have had amazing results in low light, back light, and practically no light conditions. The auto and advanced auto flash settings are great, and with flash turned off in low light conditions, the picture still shows up in focus with plenty of detail.

yes, for low level lighting you need to get F30. V10 is not good for that. It's good for outdoor pictures and marginal for low light situations. vidio on the other hand is very good on V10

Yes! Remarkably well! Of course, pay attention to the "day" "night" "stars", etc settings. For most purposes, you'll want to keep the "low light" setting on.

If you are using the camera normally, lighting is as important as it is with any other camera.Using the infared mode, it seems to work a little better in low light than total darkness as the infared (on my camera at least) is not very strong.You get about 5-6 visual at most depending on your angle in total dark where as you might get 10 to 20 feet in low light, but it may be harder to distinguish things at the greater distances.

Yes, the camera works fine in normal light conditions. Don't expect amazing quality however. This model offers video recording only, not FPV.

Seeing at night is no problem with this camera. I'm thinking a bout how long I've had this... 7 - 8 months now and it has been great. The one thing I am still getting used too is the wide angle perspective. Not a problem it is just something you need to be aware of when backing up. FYI, I hook up to a trailer and it makes it a snap night or day.

I have only used it in low light conditions at home, it takes decent pictures.

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.

They work great in low light...I've used them at night driving, and in the bedroom,great footage ;-)

No. Although 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.

This lens is great for low light situations especially without fast motion as the autofocus isn't as fast as the Nikon/Canon version. The f2.8 will be great for indoor/poor lit situations!

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

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

Works great in low light, but depends on the lens you use and what your shooting.
