you say you have taken it in different conditions, so How is it in low light? (i am going on a hunting trip and we might want footage in low light)

It has no special light settings, but I used it on a dark overcast day and the images came out great. I have not used it at night, but I would guess that it would be equal to an average photo camera.

Hi, different conditions are rain, snow and underwater. In low light the video quality is not acceptable.

I took this camera on a trip It only worked in bright light with minimum movement. If you moved from a dark surface to a light surface it would take at least 10 to 15 seconds to get a image you could view without distortion. I took it to a band concert and was only able to see dark moving shadows. It also had Issues with transferring files if the file was to large it would error multiple times. You get what you pay for I now use a GoPro

In that kind of environment, where you're standing in the dark but the kids on stage are lit, it performs very well. In fact, we had a concert at my church a couple weeks ago and I shot in those precise conditions... and the pictures turned out great! Oh... don't be afraid to bump your ISO, even up to 3200, and you should be fine. ヅ

Have not driven under those conditions but overall the camera has excellent low light capability. At night the camera view is always much brighter than the actual light level. I am very happy with the low light recordings.

Mine does not look foggy well with night vision is not as clear as with the sun out, you must like in a well lite area to get a picture at night without night vision. No zoom during playback.

Yes, I just got mine. Going to shoot some video tests this weekend with it. It has good low-light abilities.

My use of the camera is limited; but, I was at an evening outdoor wedding under a big top and low light; yet it took good, clear videos.I suppose if I were in daylight it would have been even better.

It's a portable video camera with no built-in light nor adjustable aperture or ISO, in short it does not work well on low light condition. Low light photography requires flashes if you need a bright image and the same is true with low light videography. Don't expect a crisp image/video if you're shooting in low light condition without using a separate light setup. Search YouTube for shooting rigs for this video camera and you will notice that everyone that uses this camera semi professionally have external lighting setup. This is not a camera for you if you will use this for low light videography unless you use an external light source or upgrade to a professional video camera with changeable lens and built in light.

Check out this photo I took this year in Paris, using low light mode. I think is impressive and IS controls help out a lot! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jCrhEGtCCKQ/UBdPMbQMzgI/AAAAAAABv6Q/SDUfc6ClpBo/s800/IMG_1850.JPG

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.

It takes fine pictures at night. It isn't SLR quality, and occasionally even my iPhone does as well, but where it really shines is under water. We dropped ours in 36ft off of the bow of our sailboat and it did fine, even after spending several hours down there until we could recover it (no dive gear on the boat and that is beyond my free diving capability). It is still a point and shoot with a small lens. I am happy with it, but it is far from a perfect camera. Our Canon SLR is superior, but that is to be expected. Its a great travel camera for those active moments where you can't take an SLR.

Sorry, haven't used it under that condition yet. Had it attached to a ball cap and helmet on both sunny and overcast days, all outdoors, and it has shot great footage.

I've taken it on a head band mount jungle trekking in Thailand and it does get interesting visuals. Its pretty wide lens so you dont get that shaky, dazed and confused feeling as with normal cam. Also, it is very cool to use on a telescopic handheld wand, you get to explore the scenery from an exo-human perspective...The one thing, that is not very convenient with this cam is that you have to preset the video mode (720, HD, Wide HD, Photos etc) from a computer and if you decide to change the settings after, you'll need a computer to do that. Other wise I've taken this baby jetskiing, partying, trekking, motorcycling, you name it and it gets pretty good quality in low light conditions.Hope this helps.

I didn't have great luck with it. We were in Europe and finally gave up trying. I'm sure I was probably just missing something but it wasn't happening for me. BUT on the other hand, it took great pics and video. Stabilization feature on still shots worked great.

They work great in low light...I've used them at night driving, and in the bedroom,great footage ;-)

If you aren't using the NiteShot mode, it is very poor in low light. Extremely grainy and nigh unviewable. NightShot works brilliantly, though.

I have not taken to much video with this camera, mainly because I would rather have a real video camera, but for a digital camera it's not that bad. I have taken one video indoors, and footage itself didnt seem to dark. There was very little light in the room, but the camera was very good with adjusting to that. But it likes to go through baterries like it's cool when you do take video.

Daytime photos/video are great. However, night time would be a problem...the quality is not good.... I would not recommend it for that purpose.....hope I helped answer your concerns...
