Is image quality in good light (during the day, at or near base ISO) significantly better than that of the original RX100?

I never had the original, but the image quality is very very close to that of my 5DmkIII's. I have only used it in raw, not jpg, but I am blown away with the quality both at the base and at higher ISO's

S120 is great in low light, with a faster lens it would be a better option over s90

The G5 does surprisingly well in low light! I am a bit amazed at the pictures I can take with street lights as the only illumination. There is sensor noise; somewhat more than with my Nikon D600, about the same as my Nikon D7000. Noise elimination post-processing cleans it up fairly nicely. On the other hand, consider that most Micro 4/3 lenses are fairly slow. So unless you get one of the fast lenses, you'll be using the "low-light" capabilities more than you would if you had a camera with an fast lens. The lens based anti-shake system works OK, but it's not as effective as some costlier systems, so a tripod is a must for "available dark" shooting.

Hi There does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera. Good luck and well wishes! - Phil Johannes

520TVL You get great day time images. Night time the images are good depending on lighting. Mostly short range good images. You will not get long range great images from 520TVL camera's.

It's OK. If you have an outdoor light with motion-sensing capability that would help with image quality. This is my first system, so I don't have much to compare. So far this has been the best camera. I've purchased 3 different types. Lorex, another off brand, and this one. These are the best so far. The more IR lights a camera has the better night vision. 700TVL or higher recommended for any camera. Good luck!

Does the HF S200 have better low light performance than the S100?? One of the biggest complaints about the S100 is the indoor/low light performance. Sony seems to do much better in that area.

Seems to be very good as long as there is ample daylight. In low light situations focus and shutter response is slow (as with most digital cameras). Would rate above average.

I don't have the 100 or the 300. My last one was the 500HS. It is smaller now and lighter. The night picture without the flash are all nice. I took lots of them during the Holiday lights event, and they all very clear. Also it has anti shaking mode, it snaps and processing very quick so much less blurry when moving. I think that is a major difference for this camera. Battery life is very short that is the only draw back to me. I like it overal all but be sure to get extra battery.

Here are some reviews of both. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/100HS/100HSA.HTMhttp://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/300HS/300HSA.HTMI recently had to make the same decision, and tried out both the 300HS and 100HS. The image with the 100HS was sharper every time. Colors were pretty much the same, both seemed slightly saturated (easy fix with settings), but fairly accurate IMO.I wouldn't spend the extra $50 for a bit more zoom, especially at the cost of image quality.

Simple answer is yes, Make sure you have a decent shutter speed so up the ISO, Image quality is excellent as is the dynamic range, I.E you can pull the shadows in processing without banding or bad grain/noise

Check out the links below for reviews on both. you can compare the sample photos side by side. also the Sony high iso looks better. personally I think that the Sony has warmer more vibrant color although the night shot looks better on the Canon. I just ordered the Sony so we shall see. I also like the looks of the Sony better. well, good luck in your search.http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_w55-review/index.shtmlhttp://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd1000-review/index.shtml

Yes, you can get pretty good pics under low light conditions. I've tried similar cameras, and I didn't get better quality pics than the ones I've got from the WX50.

Resolution is great during day light, above average night vision if you have some light source available but does not pick up in pitch dark. Haven't added DVR yet.

Ben, the images out of the SX200 are not blurry at all, even in low light conditions due to the wonderful stabilizer.I was worried at first, then I printed out some pics 8 X10 and WOWWWWWWWI do not miss the Superfine anymore. In addition to that, now I am able to email full resolution pics :)I am still an S80 owner. The SX200 is much faster in everything even zooming at max and in low light conditions.

I didn't like the image quality of either of them. I think the sensor is too small. The s120 is better than the s110 with faster focusing and a better sensor. I may consider spending a little more for the Sony rx100 with a bigger sensor (price dropped).
