I believe the angle is 130 degrees. If you mean the light staying on at half power, yes that can be disabled.

savy7 answered the question correctly.60mm on a DX camera so not wide angle

Like the S90, it's decent at wide angle. At 24mm, it supports a maximum aperture of f/1.8 (so a little better). Plus, the newer processor will help reduce noise at higher ISO settings (again, a little better). For low light photography, you might look at a camera with a larger sensor like the Sony RX100 or RX100 II. I'd also look at the Panasonic LX7 if you need decent low light performance throughout the zoom range.

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

i'm sorry to tell you that this is not compatible with the full frame sensor.you can use it in dx mode, otherwise the image will leave a lot of black border on the image.someone of the lens user, cut off (very difficult operation) the petal hood (that is fixed) to enlarge the covered area on the full frame sensor, and obtain an image area above 180 degrees

In my personal experience, it's a bit difficult to focus in lowlight situations. If it's as dark as a room with very dim lights, then I do not recommend this. In addition, I try to keep the ISO at a max of 1600. If I have to, I will go up to 3200. The noise/grain is noticeable around 3200, and it is a bit noticeable even at 1600.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

Because its wide angle, it does pretty good in normal inside room lighting. It is about 160º wide angle I think. About equal to a 22mm. Hope this helps.

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.

Not sure on the angle but they provide a pretty wide field of vision. I have two of these systems on one house due to all my plants and trees. A 4 camera and an 8 camera and they work great. I use the autodetect to record whenever anyone enters the area around my house and it emails it to me offsite. Neat

Yes, you can disable and enable it. It is a great camera, esp for close ups because of the light.

Wide angle yes but shooting in low light is not one of the Ricoh GR's forte.

Has anyone seen any actual reviews of this camera as opposed to marketing spec lists? Sometimes I've seen pre-production models of cameras that get reviewed prior to actual release. It is the low light ability claims of the Nikon that I'll need to see put to the test. That's probably the biggest Achilles heel of all these superzooms. It may have a CMOS sensor (which explains the burst speed of this camera) but it is still the same small size sensor as all the superzooms so I'm dubious about any huge improvement in low light. All of the previous versions of this new crop of superzooms (Nikon, Sony, Fuji) only got a flat four star rating in Amazon while the Panasonic FZ35 and FZ40 both are at 4.6. This new group has longer zooms than the Pansonics but I need to know if the picture quality is improved in any way.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

I use the camera as a security camera looking out the front window of my house. The light sensitivity is not very great so you will need light. More to your question of being able to see the entire room, the angle of view is also not very wide. I use a cheap magnetic stick on wide angle add-on lens I picked up from Wal-Mart that was for a cheap hand-help video camera, Flip I believe, that helped a lot in the wide angle viewing. Also, if you use the WiFi for the connection, you will need a good strong signal. Mine use to loose connection and not be able to link back up without power cycling the camera. I added a WiFi access point to my network closer to the camera and that took care of that problem. I use the camera as a security camera looking out the front window of my house.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer. We have just started using it and haven't had the chance to use it in low light. We do think it's a really cool camera though.
