it depends on single vs dbl din. The dbl din has adjustment. But nevertherless the pic on the screen is GREATat night a little difficult to read during the day. But for changing functions, songs, audio settings. it works very well just clean the screen with a eyeglass wipe.But overall I would rate the Power acoustic a 9 for price and quality! Now if only someone from power acoustic would help me with my download on phone book!

The video quality was good during the day, however I can not recommend this stereo. I have the unit installed in my weekend cruiser. I have logged less than 500 miles in a year and after firing up the stereo last weekend it is now locked in the calibration mode and the screen will not return to the "setup" screen. Power Acoustik's customer service advised me to press the "reset" button but this didn't work. I even disconnected the battery for 2 days in an attempt to clear the memory but was unsuccessful. Now they refuse to return my calls and today I contacted Amazon for a return. I fear that if you install this unit in a normally driven vehicle it will not last.

This unit overol is terrible with buggy software and questionable performance. Buy it at your own risk.Felix.

Hi Dennis,Low-light scenarios is a general issue with personal video cameras.Simply put, you can not expect the same video quality for low light conditions as for sunshine day recordings.I have Canons HF11 and am actually quite impressed how good the quality of the low light sensitivity became nowadays (I am recording fireworks). Under which conditions are you taking a video, whats the object ?

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.

You can use it in any lighting situation, just remember that it is recording the full spectrum of light at all times. This means that your daytime footage colors will be different that what you see with the human eye.

The video quality outside and indoors is superb- I have 2 of these cameras in fact ( because I shoot videos and want to get 2 different angles at the same time) The resolution and quality is pretty sharp.. To be honest though, I only shot once in "low light" and it came out somewhat grainy BUT I cant blame the camera for that because I did not make any adjustments to the camera settings beforehand... For instance there is a tiny button called "light" which will emit a bright light onto the subject etc.. (which I had not done).I can tell you for the money this camera is well worth it and lasts a long time.. The one I purchased first ( 7 yrs. ago) is still working great!

Daytime, if conditions are perfect and vehicle isn't too far away. Nighttime, no, plate reflects too much light back. Camera is really good during the day and night though.

I have not taken to much video with this camera, mainly because I would rather have a real video camera, but for a digital camera it's not that bad. I have taken one video indoors, and footage itself didnt seem to dark. There was very little light in the room, but the camera was very good with adjusting to that. But it likes to go through baterries like it's cool when you do take video.

The one I installed seems to work as well when it is dark outside as daytime..It does vision cars at my gate well and also sees raindrops when it is raining.. It is a great camera for its price.. the only thing it does not have that I wish it had is audio.. bUt there are other cameras that have audio but the prices are much higher..

You will get the best results in normal daylight conditions. Not recommended for recording in low light conditions.

It is very good camera with good resolution in day light but the night vision is not as good as I was hopping to be.

Depends how "strong" the sunlight . . . . I have used mine with direct sun on the LCD and it is clearly visible by adjusting the LCD brightness to +5 (use Q menu button then icon on bottom right for screen brightness, adjustable -5 to +5). Having said that I am not sure that would still be the case under mid-day lighting close to the Equator, I was shooting in the UK early morning in May.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

Outdoor video is okay, as long as there is good lighting. The low lux on this particular brand is not all that exciting, making playback of videos taken in low light situations somewhat fuzzy and greyish. The zooming qualities should work fine for sports, although you shouldn't expect the quality as compared to that taken with , lets say, a 14 0r 16 megapixel camera. Hope this was helpful.

The 4 units I own have good quality day or night. The areas I have covered are also assisted by some additional area lighting (one 60w light in the back yard, and a 250w sodium street light near my driveway) which may contribute to the quality of the night vision. If possible, I'd recommend adding some additional lighting to assist the nighttime vision. If that doesn't work, then you may have a defective camera. These cameras will display only black and white at night (no color).

My use of the camera is limited; but, I was at an evening outdoor wedding under a big top and low light; yet it took good, clear videos.I suppose if I were in daylight it would have been even better.

My own operates fine particularly on sunny days. The flash is decent too with clear shots of close subjects. You may have gotten a defective camera.
