I'm wanting to see if this will be good for indoor photography sessions with low light. I mainly focus on newborn and kids.

Brittan, The set up is good however I would get brighter bulbs. The bulbs are 45 watt and I don't think will be strong enough for watt you are trying to do especially since you are using steady light rather than strobes. Hope this helps

I have used this set when i host casting calls and auditions for films and it really highlights the focus, if the room is dark. It also enhances natural light as well.

It works well indoors, and my experience with regular lighting of a room has been quite good. This is an exceptionally good camera for the price.

Seems to be very good as long as there is ample daylight. In low light situations focus and shutter response is slow (as with most digital cameras). Would rate above average.

I think the low light ability is fairly good. Once the light level drops below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to B/W.

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.

I would personally want a lot more light for video. I think this is better for still shots with a camera on a tripod and a slow shutter speed.

If you are using it indoors in low light, try the HD setting in the SCN mode. I did that and got a pretty good shot of an infant (no flash).

For low light it will do for sure. I do beluce for sone action too, but not to much. Photographing groups pf friend together i had no problems lime "phantons" ir shades of people moving. It is not a pro camera but a long step from regular ines. If you know how to operate in manual yoy will be able to do it.My experience is only on automatic mode.

I found that it took better pictures in bright light or outside. Low indoor light provided the most challenges, when trying to get a good shot. I found the closer I was to the subject, the better the picture. There are modes you can use on the camera to compensate and enable you to get a good indoor photo. Good luck.

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

Yes, this lens would get very close ups of a newborn. The pictures would be very sharp but unless you stopped down on the f/ stop, the depth of field will be very shallow. This shallow dof may or may not be what you're looking for. For fingers or toes you can focus down to about 4 in. away but you have to watch your lighting. This lens is excellent for portraits.

For me, the color comes out orangey in indoor light. I have a low end DV camera (Canon ZR850) that does much better than this in low light. You can compensate a bit with some of the controls, but of course you might have missed the shot by then. Don't expect to get anything worthwhile in completely artificially lit rooms (although bright light - e.g. school gymnasium - not a problem). I also found that the camera goes in and out of focus if the room isn't lit well enough - face recognition helped a bit.

I use it at f8 because at that value is sharp, and for that you need a lot of light( daylight, sun). Not good for indoor/night photos. Also if you want to take sharp pictures of moving targets its not recomended, for that you need a lot of light OR a lens who is sharp at low f OR a camera with low noise at high iso.

yes. this is a good camera in low light.I used sensitivity up to 6400 and I got good noise all the way through

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

If the lighting isn't that good the delay might be rather noticeable. Also one has to take into account zoom. In average I miss 1 out of 10 pictures when shooting kids and pets. I consider this as a good result.

Thanks for your inquiry.Yes, it works extremely well in low light environment because of its High Dynamic Range sensor.
