How well does this camera record in low light conditions?

I have used my camera for a bit of indoor shooting (filming industrial equipment for mechanical disgnosis), and the camera seems to work fine with normal indoor lighting. Based on my experience with the GoPro, the image quality is as good or better.

Not well. The camera seems to be ideal for bright environments. I tried to capture some low-light under-water scenes and the camera recorded just black.

Yes, you can get pretty good pics under low light conditions. I've tried similar cameras, and I didn't get better quality pics than the ones I've got from the WX50.

low light recording is good as long as you do not zoom. The bigger the aperture of the lens the better quality of the picture

It copes pretty well, but you should operate under low loght conditions in manual mode.Personally, I am satisfied with the way the camera behaves in low light situatuions, but it depends on what do you expect - it is one step above the majority of the point-and-shoots cameras(as the model is indende to be).For example, I got some amazing photos and videos of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan sceneries during night from the Hudson river.Generally speaking, I can say: yes. :)

I haven't used this camera in a while, but from what I remembered it handled it self pretty well in low light conditions. It depends a lot on the light that is available. I am assuming you're looking to rent the camera because of it's size, but if size is not an issue, there are probably better DSLR's out there that handle low light conditions better in terms of speed and ISO performance. But, for its size the Ricoh does a really good job in low light conditions.

Are you using it in a low light situation? If the camera goes high ISO will likely see a lot of noise.

I have yet to try this camera at night. It does, however, work well in low light conditions. I would say that the range for good images is around 15 feet, but this camera does not have the same high resolution as a normal point and shoot.

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

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

This is the best camera for low light conditions. Pictures come up sharp and brighter than what you are actually looking at. It's like magic!

I've only taken one low light photo, and it turned out well. However, I still would not recommend this camera. It's heavy and not particularly user friendly.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer. We have just started using it and haven't had the chance to use it in low light. We do think it's a really cool camera though.

Hi Rosie, This camera has a good low light capability. However, it still depends on the lens you are using. We recommend using lenses with large aperture opening. -Anthony

Yes. It's a good camera in low light conditions. You can take the ISO very high and the auto focus does well in low light conditions. Good luck!

Not a lot of actual low light use but based upon my relatively limited use, no factor. Camera has been simply outstanding in every respect!

Mine records well in sunny weather. Mine is set to automatically adjust ISO (light sensitivity). make sure it's set to auto adjust. Then try recording through an open window to make sure the glass isn't doing anything. Ps alwyn the camera can be set to record movies or take still photos

I have taken at least 100 photos withe Sony CX260V. Daylight photos are acceptable but not the quality I would want if I was using a 8-9 meg pixal camera. Low Light shots are worse than expected. I am working with the camera now to learn how to use the manual features instead of auto features and have been able to make some improvements in picture quality. Even better on the video recording side using the manual feature settings versus auto. Basically - it is a decent HD video camcorder with a camera feature that is nice to have when you do not want to carry two cameras.
