How is the video quality at night?

Quality was good but the "video" was more like a set of fast still pictures vs full motion. I may have had a bad unit. Returned it and did not get another one. Good luck!

I haven't found that to be an issue. The night setting works well for that.

Its not too bright by my standards. The GPS has a night mode which is nice. At day its brightness is sufficient. I think the brightness is just right. My system has never frozen or glitched. I'm probably one of the lucky ones.

For nighttime it is fantastic, we bought a 10' collapsible screen and use it (tied to a bigger audio system) for screen-on-the-green presentations. It throws a great image even at that size. I do t know if I would use it during daylight hours.

No this camcorder does not have night shooting capabilities. It does very well in low light conditions though. I have recorded street scenes very successfully with nothing more than the street lights themselves.

Yes it does have night viewing ,but not as bright as your more expensive PTZ cameras

The night vision is great! I did not expect it to be as good as it is. I can see with no issues. The reverse lights provide more than enough light. Like J2P3 said, the picture is grainy but that's expected at night. You can clearly see at least 10ft behind the car.

I think there is only infrared function for night shot. You can take white-black video at night not color one

The image is pretty good. I don't notice any bluriness, the only spot it loses detail is the very brightest part, because I adjusted the image settings to show more shadow detail. Zoomed in, sharp lines are just 2-3 pixels wide. Small details in the wall texture or tree trunks show just fine. At night it shows a good image under street lights, but note that it is not infrared or "night vision."

You need a great dvr to see the quality. It's fantastic at night as well as the day!

I have not used it at night but it works well at dusk. Cant beat it for the price. You want something that works at night go gen 3 night vision or thermal, but $$$

I think for how much I have paid, it is a very decent camera. It is pretty clear in both day time and night time. If you want to spend less than 100 dollars, this is probably the best you can buy.

Kitchen at night should be OK. Probably won't have that sharp HD look though. In your second example just make sure your subject is not silhouetted against the window and you should be all right. The camera is quite good at coping with most shooting conditions automatically. However, in my first week of using the HF100, in a darkened restaurant, I made the mistake of not turning the on-board video light on. I had read it is not very good and eats up the battery, but I should have used it. The video came out very grainy. Across a table for two is probably the best time to use it. I didn't shoot much anyway, so it wouldn't have used much battery. Oh well, I'll try it next time.

We have no issues with night pics. Video worked great for awhile, but I'm am filing complaint today. Both cameras are good for pics only at this point. Not happy.

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.

it was pretty great, but in dark rooms no there is not much to do in dark,clarity is great but when zooming in or out while recording it may at times became blurry for a sec, battery wise is great it runs good I'm not so sure but maybe anywhere from 2 hrs constant use to 6 hrs if are not using much in the day.
