How is the low light recording?

low light recording is good as long as you do not zoom. The bigger the aperture of the lens the better quality of the picture

Picture quality actually is better without the flash in low light. Video is grainy but you can make adjustments for better low light filming.

No, the camera is very grainy in low light. It looks okay at first, but it is more noticeable when you zoom in a bit.

Not well. The camera seems to be ideal for bright environments. I tried to capture some low-light under-water scenes and the camera recorded just black.

It works very well in low light if you use the right settings, which take a little experimenting. I used it in the rides at Disneyland (Snow White, Peter Pan) and it did amazingly well; very little noise and great colors with great, clean blacks.

I have not tried night-time recording, but I will now that you mentioned it. My experience with poor quality in low light is in my basement. I have two lamps with 60-watt bulbs in a fair-sized room. The result is a grainy image and inconsistent color rendering.

Hey how is the noise level in low light for video and pictures? Also can you tell me if there's a shutter lag?

I have not done any video recording but I have read that the autofocus doesn't work well when in video mode. The still photos are great.

It isn't bad in low light, just use a wide angle lens to use as much light in the area as possible and you shouldn't have any problems.

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.

keep in mind that this is 1080p HD camera, so in my opinion, the quality at night time (in almost total darkness, the only lights are from my vehicle headlights) is VERY GOOD. You can see everything and anything clearly in the recording.

Hi Rosie, This camera has a good low light capability. However, it still depends on the lens you are using. We recommend using lenses with large aperture opening. -Anthony

I have used it to film at night and this camera needs good illumination to record properly. It works fairly well as a car cam at night but it has a hard time in really low light conditions.

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

It isn't bad at all! more of a camera for simple recording, i use it for recording sporting events in high light areas

I don't like how it shoots in low light situations. BUT you can push the ISO in AV or TV mode and it should work OK. You may have to remove some digital noise in the editing.
