is this bright enough to shoot at 100 to 200 ISO for video?

I have been shooting in "auto" mode for video so I am not sure. My video on You Tube "Face The DJ DJ Peace" is an example of a video containing some 'green screen' from my small studio using these lights in 'auto'. The shots with "DJ Peace" make-up will be obvious.

The video and camera do not work well in low light. You think you have good lighting but, it has to have lot's of light. In the day time you get great video and pictures. I use a flash light at night ( Mag. Light LED ) to light up what I need at night. Works well. The audio is very good. The wide angle is very nice. I would say a 45 degree angle to each side. The Muvi is a very nice tool for me. The cost is very low. I work Security and I would not want to work with out it.

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.

Yea no problem Cameron, it's not 200 Lumens , it's 125 lumens. Good light for the money

f/2.8 is good enough for well-lit scenes at night using ISO800 to 1600 (on A77, that's the highest usable ISO I would use). It won't be enough if the scene is dominated by darkness. You still may be able to take good pictures at shutter speed 1/15s or less depending if you can hold your camera steady enough.

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

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.

I don't think it will be a problem. I just shot a film and used this light as my primary and it worked fine- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3kNwW75z88&list;=PL-jvR5L4qMbXdIod18v1BqQJf3_fkF74N&index;=4. Another light I was thinking of getting was the Aputure Amaran 528. Here is a video showing their capibilities- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abo-CgPjWo4

HI. Yes, it's bright enough to use in low or very low light - I hope this helps. ken

It depends on your definition of low light and picture use. I love the results, I shot at a school musical (Les Miss) (GX7 + 20mm f1.7) with excellent results (I can send you originals for your review at your request). The BEST option for low light will be a large format camera with very bright lenses, (maybe a Hasselblad?). I don't like to set the ISO over 1600, but the camera goes up to 25000. What is your current camera?, what will you measure the results aganist? What is your budget?, What will the pictures be used for?

From my experience, yes. It worked great in varied lighting situations. The "iA" mode on the camera makes taking videos very easy.

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.

I would go with a more versatile lens for low light performances. Maybe a 70-200 or something similar.

In my personal experience, it's a bit difficult to focus in lowlight situations. If it's as dark as a room with very dim lights, then I do not recommend this. In addition, I try to keep the ISO at a max of 1600. If I have to, I will go up to 3200. The noise/grain is noticeable around 3200, and it is a bit noticeable even at 1600.

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

Keep the ISO to 400 or below, 800 max and you will be fine for detailed images. You can push it a little higher if you don't plan to blow the pictures up really large. Yes, its about 1-2 stops worse than other cameras, but the camera features and the 16-50 f/2.8 kit lens more than make up for it. If you can't work around 1-stop, then you probably shouldn't be considering a camera at this level.

It can produce fairly good images at low light but resolution is not too high to begin with and there needs to be some light; pitch black and it won't see anything (no surprise). If identifying faces is important, I would not use this product unless it is in a well-lit area.
