Does this camera work well in low light?

No, the camera is very grainy in low light. It looks okay at first, but it is more noticeable when you zoom in a bit.

Seems to handle low light shooting (Especially with high ISO) very well: http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2012/10/09/night-time-street-shooting-with-the-sony-rx1-amazing-high-iso-samples/

I bought this camera (ZS40) recently. In my experience, (I use the iA setting) the day time photos were very good although the night time (low light) photos were not very good; they had 'noise'. However, the video clips were very good and, I like the optical zoom of 30 times.

I have been very pleased with mine in low light. In really low light situations I have seen some problems getting it focused. I also have a D3100

The pics in low light are excellent....and the built-in flash, should you care to use it, is compensating!

Its actually not too bad. I use mine all the time in low light situations, but with any camera the lower the light your filming in it will start to look grainy. This camera comes with a light you can attach, so all you need to do is turn that on.

Yes, I have been very impressed with the low light pictures. The only complaint I have is you can't force the flash on in auto if you want some fill in light. However, you can force the flash on in other modes.

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

Yes, this is very noisy in low light and above 400 ISO. I have a friend who takes simple family snapshots with the same camera, and it's fine for her. But for myself, and probably for you, the camera is just not good enough.

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

It does well in low light, and its macro is good. It also adjusts focus and brightness automatically. Its not as fast as a dedicated video camera, but it does the job well. The built in stereo microphone is also very good. I hope that helps

This camera does very well in low light, but it is not IR. Infra Red cameras can see people in pitch black, so perhaps find a "Foscam" one if you really need it.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I never tried to film in low light and my low light photos were not particularly impressive. As an aside, I want to let you know that I don't think this camera is worth your money, that is if you want a durable, working camera. After only one year of light usage of this camera, while on a trip to the Grand Canyon, the camera inexplicably began to produce super overexposed photos. After that happened, I fiddled around with the camera and adjusted it according to the instruction manual, but I couldn't fix the issue. Eventually, I came back to the Amazon and searched for the product's negative reviews and sure enough, others had similar issues that made this camera not usable after a few months to a year. According to those reviewers, when they reached out to Fuji to inquire about getting replacement parts or their cameras fixed, Fuji was either completely not helpful or offered very costly help. You may want to check out those negative reviews for yourself.

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.

The camera works well in just about any light. It has many settings and features that help with this. We actually have 2 of them now, the oldest being 2 years old. They both have been trouble free and take great pictures. We did, however, take a photography class to help us learn how to use the options and and get great photos. I hope this helps.

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

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.
