Can anyone tell what is the LUX rating on these camera's the lower value indicates better night vision

I am not sure but I had to send one camera back because to stopped working and now I have another camera that stopped. Both camera's where the $139 price range. I will not replace the second camera with the same manufacture.

I don't know what the lux rating is but the infrared illumination in them works ok close up. The ones I have installed high on my building don't do well with the infrared, but the ones I have within 20 feet of the ground do just fine. I have perimeter lighting around my building and that is plenty of illumination to see what is going on, they just go black and white in low light.Hope that helps. For the money they aren't bad camera's.

We don't have anything to compare it to, but no complaints about the night vision picture. it comes in black and white versus color and switches over automatically depending on how much light there is.

Yes the cameras have night vision. They work very well to about 20ft, then drop significantly after that.

The camera does not have night vision. It is supposed to be a "low lux" camera, and the spec. sheet says 0.01 lux, but in darkness, my experience is this camera is fairly useless.

The DCR SR300 has a CMOS sensor, the DCR SR100 has the CCD. That could account for the difference. I doubt that quality is as bad as Frank seems to find it. I am waiting on a camcorderinfo.com review before I buy but with the Lux rating being better for the DCR SR300 there is no reason why it should be so disappointing.

This camera does not have night vision. I'm a private investigator, and I purchased this camera for work purposes. Its a great camera, lightweight, good battery life, and good zoom. Its has a small light you can turn on while recording at night but its not night vision. The small light helps just a little. But keep in my mind I use this camera as early as 6am while its still dark outside through my tinted windows. Its work great for me.

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.

If by nightvision you mean it can see in total darkness? Then no. But if you got enough lighting it can see as far as 15 feet away. Which is better than most cameras at this price. Especially web cams. If you want an actual nightvision that can see in total darkness you'd be paying a bit for that. The one I got picked out will cost me 150 bucks. They aren't cheap. If you see one cheap, its most likely a scam. All in all i thought this camera was a pretty decent investment for the price. Used 4 of them to keep watch on my property. Particularly this one here is one of the better ones.

Not the best. Definitely there are worse but there are better available if that is your main purpose. I would say these are comparable to slight better than naked eye vision at dusk, but magnified of course.. Some binocs gather light exceptionally well and make things visible that arent even possible with naked eye at dusk. These binocs perform best in high light, that's where the clarity and detail rreally really shine here in my opinion. For all-around use they are GREAT.

Night vision appears to be very good under most conditions - as long as there is SOME street lighting. But on a very dark road the "range" is quite short to the rear. Front is good due to headlights.

Hi, i haven't had a chance to test the night vision but i read the many reviews that said it was more than adequate. Hope that helps.

They are not 30x60 they are not night vision, I am not sure of the power As a pure estimate 10x50 perhaps, They offer good magnification, when I bought them I was aware of the wishful Numbers claimed by evading the feedback, one buyer had worked out the magnification specs He commented the numbers claimed were rubbish, however they do have good power in my view Well worth the price.

Just got D- Lux5 used, from Leica blog it is considered better camera. Better pic quality etc. Considered a magic camera by some. Don't upgrade firmware to version 2. Many feel the version 1 is better. Google to read threads.

No IR/Night Vision. Camera is 720p HDTV 30fps. I've used these for a while and they are awesome. The DVR software is free to download. The only caveat is no night IR but with outside motion lights it hasn't been an issue. Check them out at Www.ubnt.com

The f/ stop range is the same, so no, the low light performance should be identical.
