I might rent this camera for prom, so how well can this camera take have good pictures with a fast shutter in a low-light setting(ex: iso800&amp;over)?

Honestly, this camera is purpose built for street photography in daylight or overcast daytime outdoor conditions. I've found it to be quite wonderful in that kind of lighting. In low ambient lighting situations, I've found this camera to be quite poorly suited.

Camera has a very fast electronic shutter and can take up to 40 frames/second. I have used the 10 frame per second mode for some outdoor shots that came out fine - just a lot of pictures to go review. Subject was also far away so quick focusing was not an issue.

Hello Sr's. I have just bought this camera, been playing around with the settings for a coupple of days, its just GREAT. Its not the fastest camera out there, it DOES have a slight delay from PRESS to SHOT, dont know exacly how long, but its noticeable. However this camera, on auto mode, allows you to set an option ON to "fast capture" this will make the Shutter speed way faster... Intented for use to take a pic on a racing event or sports event. I think with this setting ON might be sufficient to capture that lil' angel smile just fine!

Yes this is an awesome camera. I use it for concerts as well and it takes fabulous pictures. I wish I could share a few for you. Its light weight and the speed is awesome. Not a point and shoot. You will have make settings for each situation just like any DSLR. I love mine and intend to use it as my primary camera.

Depends on how well lit the "inside" is at the moment the photos are taken. I'd used it in museums where no flash was allowed, and had to increase the ISO to about 1600 to get clear shots. Photos taken at ISO 1600 on this camera is acceptably good with a bit of noise but not too bad. Also, do use a faster lens with a wider aperture, such as the Panasonic 20mm F1.7 pancake lens.

What about low light performance? I took SD900 to Japan for cherry blossom viewing. Flash is definitely a big no no for taking those kinds of pictures at night, so I used Hi-ISO or ISO 3200 all the way. The night cherry blossom pictures turned out to be amazing. Video was fantastic too. I haven't yet read any comment on how SD800 performed in low light situations. Any experience?

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.

It's pretty fast I believe. There's setting that you can select to to take picture every so many second or minutes. I've had cameras that were over $200 and this camera takes better photos than the high priced ones

It's great. I use it for weddings which happen always at night time in my country. there is a bit of noise but way better than it's rivals in the market in my opinion. Don't compare it to a DSLR because that's an unjustified comparison.

I have taken at least 100 photos withe Sony CX260V. Daylight photos are acceptable but not the quality I would want if I was using a 8-9 meg pixal camera. Low Light shots are worse than expected. I am working with the camera now to learn how to use the manual features instead of auto features and have been able to make some improvements in picture quality. Even better on the video recording side using the manual feature settings versus auto. Basically - it is a decent HD video camcorder with a camera feature that is nice to have when you do not want to carry two cameras.

The indoor pictures are actually of VERY POOR quality. Canon SD1000 takes decent outdoor pictures, but it's dreadful indoor, especially when it's bright enough and auto flash is off.I am disappointed... the indoor picture quality is WORSE than much older models, when we had 2MP at maximum resolution.For weddings, you shouldn't go for anything lower than a digital SLR.

Absolutely this camera perform very well even in low light settings. You can take very smooth and high quality photograps by using it. I purchased it with one of my professional friends' advice about phohotography.

It depends on your definition of low light and picture use. I love the results, I shot at a school musical (Les Miss) (GX7 + 20mm f1.7) with excellent results (I can send you originals for your review at your request). The BEST option for low light will be a large format camera with very bright lenses, (maybe a Hasselblad?). I don't like to set the ISO over 1600, but the camera goes up to 25000. What is your current camera?, what will you measure the results aganist? What is your budget?, What will the pictures be used for?

I haven't used this camera in a while, but from what I remembered it handled it self pretty well in low light conditions. It depends a lot on the light that is available. I am assuming you're looking to rent the camera because of it's size, but if size is not an issue, there are probably better DSLR's out there that handle low light conditions better in terms of speed and ISO performance. But, for its size the Ricoh does a really good job in low light conditions.

No this camera do not work well in low light. If you need it to make good pictures it wont work for you. I bought this tablet about a month and is fast for what I use it, mail, read books, videos. I recommend it but not for the cameras.

You can set the synch speed at 1/125 and you should be fine. Also check your curtain on the camera. Sometimes people have the curtain set to the beginning of the flash and some at the end. Experiment tithe that if the 1/125 is problematic. A fast shutter isn't really necessary.
