What kind of low-light (no flash) results do you get with the Samsung WB-100?

I am no camera expert by any means, but at times the flash is too powerful, and the low light pictures are better. I generally use Picasa to edit, and it will brighten the pictures and they look good. In extreme low light with the flash off, they are pretty grainy and Picasa cannot help them. I have only printed 4 x 6 images though, and they are fantastic the majority of times. Hope this helps!

It depends on the settings used. I can take some really good pictures in low-light without flash.I've found that the built-in photo editor can help a little if needed as well.Its best to choose the mode that is best for your shot such as smart, program, scene...etc.; then, adjust the settings to get the desired effect.

thanks, those links were very interesting to read. I am looking forward to learning more about how the new edgelit/quasi local dimming technology from samsung actually affects picture quality.

This camera is great in low light if you use the flash. Without the flash the photo will come out a little dark. Trust me; you'll love this camera :)

Hi there, I own this camera since this April and took around 8000 pics since, about half of them in very low light. With this camera, you do not even need to use the flash in 99.9% of the cases. (this is why I chose this camera in the first place) In case it's really dark and you don't have any lightsource, you can use the flash and it is sufficiently strong so your photos will look good. But usually, you really don't need the flash at all. I made perfect shots (photo and video) in dark dimmed pubs as well as beautiful nightshots walking around NYC all without using the flash. But if you insist, it's there, and it's perfectly fine. Hi there, I own this camera since this April and took around 8000 pics since, about half of them in very low light.

I always use the flash, even in daylight. I don't have trouble with backlighting. I have used most of the "mode" settings.

Low Light Performance indoors is good in my opinion. The flash works great. I can finally take photos indoors in really low light, without having to turn on all the lights in the room. Zoom is great also. I really love this camera. I really wanted to take action shots of my dogs running and playing. And the action shots are incredible. No blur. Really crisp.

I have had amazing results in low light, back light, and practically no light conditions. The auto and advanced auto flash settings are great, and with flash turned off in low light conditions, the picture still shows up in focus with plenty of detail.

I used this review from cnet to help me: put the TV into movie mode, turn the backlight down to 8-10, contrast down to 85-90, and motion plus to 'clear'. Play around from there and you'll find your sweet spot. From Samsung's How-To's: Picture settings provide you with one-touch selection of brightness, contrast, and color temperature levels suited to different viewing conditions, such as Movie mode for nighttime viewing when room lighting levels are low, and Standard, and Dynamic for daytime viewing when the room is filled with a mix of artificial and natural light.

My experience is that the W50 is not a great low-light camera because of the size of the glass. The marketing is TECHNICALLY correct; low-light shots don't have as much noise as they might otherwise have. But low-light shots are also not very bright! You'll need the flash pretty often indoors. The good news is that the flash is pretty natural-looking. I've been happy with how well it exposes with the flash. I generally use the reduce flash (FLASH -) setting.

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

I'm really surprised at how well the camera does at low lighted events. I usually take both flash pics and no flash pics but find many times the pics taken with available light are better than with the flash. Hope that helps.

I don't really have a good answer for you. If you look through some of the reviews on here, I think somebody has a some calibrations that you could try. Here is another set you can try from this webpage http://www.avsforum.com/t/1438531/my-samsung-un55es7100-calibration-runsdown#post_24285145 but as the forum explains, this is just a baseline since every tv is different. To have paid this much for this tv, I think mine is messed up or has issues with lighting board in it because in dark scenes, it is very noticeable in showing a flicker from either being dark or a lighter black. Samsung is supposedly going to send a tech out and look at it under warranty and hopefully they fix it and the messed up wifi issue.

If you aren't using the NiteShot mode, it is very poor in low light. Extremely grainy and nigh unviewable. NightShot works brilliantly, though.

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

yes, for low level lighting you need to get F30. V10 is not good for that. It's good for outdoor pictures and marginal for low light situations. vidio on the other hand is very good on V10
