It does work well in low light. Yes you can buy Nikon DSLR lenses of various sizes.

In low light conditions the flash will automatically pop up. If you choose to shoot in low light without the flash you can, just use a tripod to avoid camera shake and manually set the ISO higher. There are many lenses that fit this camera. It usually comes packed with an 18-55 mm lens. I recommend next you buy a 55-200 mm lens.

It does well in low light, and its macro is good. It also adjusts focus and brightness automatically. Its not as fast as a dedicated video camera, but it does the job well. The built in stereo microphone is also very good. I hope that helps

The lens is sufficient to take the pictures you want, but if it is really dark it won't work. Built in flash, but you should be able to take low light pictures with an external light source like a flashlight

I've only taken one low light photo, and it turned out well. However, I still would not recommend this camera. It's heavy and not particularly user friendly.

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.

I prefer to use available, ambient light for practical reasons which I will not elaborate upon here. So I tend to purchase "fast" lenses and employ cameras which can operate at reasonably high ISO's without introducing exposure degrading electronic noise. I have found that the Alpha 850 and Alpha 900 perform decently at quite low light levels, if combined with lenses which have f/2,8 and faster capabilities.

Hi H.E., this Sony Alpha a6000 is a good camera for low light situation. It has an ISO range of 100-25600 giving less noise due to its Exmor CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor. As for the lens, any wide angle Sony lens will do. -Ely

yes. this is a good camera in low light.I used sensitivity up to 6400 and I got good noise all the way through

Yes. It's a good camera in low light conditions. You can take the ISO very high and the auto focus does well in low light conditions. Good luck!

In broad daylight, not too bad....in low light - pretty terrible. That said, I don't hardly use autofocus, and overall this lens is a good buy. I don't regret it.

The Sony DCR-SR42 handycam shoots very well in low light conditions. I use it in ghost investigations exclusivly in zero light . I do use external Infrared for brighter video but the nightshot it comes with is very good too. Great camera and I will buy another with out hesitation. Awesome camera.

Seems to handle low light shooting (Especially with high ISO) very well: http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2012/10/09/night-time-street-shooting-with-the-sony-rx1-amazing-high-iso-samples/

It performs well in low light, sometimes throws a shadow, but I think that is my inexperience as a user. Wonderful lens!

It is an excellent camera and performs well for me in all light conditions. Buy it you will be impressed.

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).

Hello Mike, it is an f/4G so los light conditions will always be an issue. Having said this, I can tell you theta I love this lens. It is very fast in focus and extremely sharp. In dark enviroments such as weddings or concerts you may have to put up your iso setting a bit and get a little noise on your images but again, sharpnes will do the work and have a little noice images in dark enviroments sometimes is good. If you use flash you have no problem at all. I hope this helps a little on your choice.

I bought this camera (ZS40) recently. In my experience, (I use the iA setting) the day time photos were very good although the night time (low light) photos were not very good; they had 'noise'. However, the video clips were very good and, I like the optical zoom of 30 times.
