is it good for dance photography?

When on the SPORT setting, the camera takes good photos of any subject in motion. I have not used it for movies!

This flash should be more than enough for the shooting you'd do with your camera. Take a close look at the feature set ...if you won't use a lot of the features on this flash, you can buy a cheaper one and still be happy.

If you have a better tripod and a decent camera its ok. Not professional Quality. I photograph model cars and it does a good job.

I would think so. It has a good focus setting and it's a really good quality. I've never really done that specifically but I love the camera so it should be good

One of the first times I used the new camera was at my grand-daughter's dance recital. I was seated near the back of the auditorium and had the telephoto lens attached. After much testing, I finally ended up using the auto setting and the results came out fine. Everyone who saw the pictures were impressed. I was very happy and somewhat surprised at the results, especially given the low light conditions and how far away I was from the stage. I have been very happy with the camera so far.

No problem. Just pay mind its a harsh flash. If you're planning on using the camera casually its great, but you might eventually want to go the extra mile for a nicer model for the flash itself. Two cents.

Taking 'good' pictures mostly depends on your skills as a photographer. This camera focuses very fast - it definitely helps in aiding you at children's sporting activities and recital's.

I should add that I have done night indoor photos of kids dancing with great results. No night game photos but I can't imagine it won't do a great job based on what I've done so far.

I can't say it would be perfect as a video blog camera but I have found it to be entirely useful and would recommend it to anybody for a pocket camera, still and video. I have always used a Canon pocket for point and shoot and the only time I went off-brand with a Nikon I was extremely disappointed.

YES ! I take a lot of indoor taking at 1600 and 3200 ISO. The phots are great! This camera is made for low light situations.For portrait, i try it but less than museum and concert. But i am sure that it good for indoor portrait too.

Yes. Just it to action and it works great. You can also adjust the ISO and shutter to get good shots.

Its pretty decent for portraiture, but for event shooting, i'd go with either reflections off the walls or a diffuser. When using the softbox, you just have to make sure its not going all flimsy on you and that the leather isnt blocking any of the flash (Have the soft box erect as possible)

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.

It's not that good but in its class it's ok. If you want a small, pocket sized point and shoot digital camera you should be ready for lousy performance in low light. Unfortunately bigger sensors and better lenses are the keys for better low light performance.

Yes, I think this will be fine for basic still photography and editing. My wife has this unit with over 40,000 photos, and PhotoShop 12 on it, and LIghtRoom as well, and it works fast and smoothly.

Sorry. I've only used it for still photos. Would probably work OK if you didn't have to do panning and thus change focus...unless you are more nimble than I am.

If you have a webcam that can tale a decemt photo in reduced light, it should work fine. The amount of light put out by the light is pretty good so it will depend on how close the light is to the area that you want to take a photo of.
