How is this in low light. For example, a birthday party with the lights out and candles lit?

Again, in low levels of light, & with the low color temperature light quality of the candle flame, you will get a somewhat grainy & yellow/orange cast to the image. I don't know if there's a Tungsten color temp balance adjustment to correct the yellow cast as I've not had time to go into manual settings yet. I'm sure you can mess with some lighting additions that cast just enough light on the subject & leave the cake to look more candle light.Alan W

I have not really tested it so I can not say.We have been leaving one light on for background lighting for birthday candles and that has worked very well however.Sorry.

Does pretty well in low light; however I always shoot raw and post process in Lightroom 5.

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

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

The lights worked fine with the 300+ people we photographed. Use a good camera though.

I printed an 8x10 photo of my car in the daylight and it came out great. I took a photo inside the house with not so great light and it came out a little dark and slightly grainy. This was a 5x7 picture. I just got the camera this week so I am still fooling around with it. I'm working with Photoshop Elements 4 (5 on order) to see if it can help out with the low light pics.

I would not call it dim like a candle lit dinner :) I would just call it less-bright. I am using lutron C L dimmer switch. The on off switch is separate from the dimmer control. Hope this helps

this product work well for low light as long as you position your light correctly. I take photo on a dress form also it should work just fine.

No light. In low light settings the lack of a flash/light source the still photos are grainy.

It does not have a night shot setting, but it shoots great video in low light using the auto feature. Took shots of birthdays already with only the light of the candles in the room and it looked great. It does have a light built in that work really well too.

Friend the camera records very well in low light day. At night you have to putting on an extra lamp for darkness. and where artificial light very well ... records It is an excellent camera.

I can't answer your question. Every area we are using it in has at least low light even at night. I can tell you the picture is nice & clear and easy to make out in the low light

It works well in low light. Infrared is just an extra light source. It has regular light, infrared light and no light setting with a push of a button.

When there is decent lighting the image is great....this is not a night time or low light camera....there is a low light version but it has a narrower field of view..... I have 3mp hikvisions and dahuas, this is not as good, but still works well considering that it has built in mic and speaker....

I have found that it produces acceptable images in fairly low light. I don't try to take pictures in almost total darkness so I have no experience there. Under a full moon it took acceptable pictures of animals in my yard. HTH

In moderately lit indoor conditions, it looks perfectly fine. The darker you get, the less quality it is (obviously, ;D). For example, I'm in a room with no lights, a single window, on a rainy and cloudy day. The small amount of light coming in is surprisingly enough for the camera to get a decent picture (but I wouldn't want to film anything professionally without first turning on some lights). You can adjust the exposure yourself, which does improve the quality to an extent, but over exposure looks rather funky (on any camera). In the end, it's A-OK for a moderate to poorly lit/naturally lit room. Any darker than that and the camera has trouble focusing and getting decent quality. There are also several pre-set lighting conditions too which are rather useful. Combining those with manually white balancing and adjusting the exposure myself, I was able to greatly increase the quality of the picture compared to the auto-settings. But of course, the camera really is at it's best on a sunny afternoon. The picture quality is great when you're filming outside or in a well lit room. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot!

Yes, I had a blacklight party and it showed up very well, I got plenty of compliments :) the yellow pink and orange were really noticeable.
