The filming quality is good, as long as you don't scratch the lens. This camera does not have an auto-close function on the lens. You have to remember to close it every time. I put it in a back pack for 20 min. and forgot to close the lens cover, it ruined the lens and camera. There is not a light, but it does record decently in low light.

I don't like this camera. I shoot inside and there's tons of light coming through the living room window and it's still grainy. I think a video camera is just one of those things you can't go cheap on.

It is terrible in low light and the built in light isn't very effective. Decent quality video in bright situations.

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 do have this camera, and I have taken it to arena football games which have a lot of movement. I got GREAT pictures. It does not have image stabilization, but you can easily take shots of moving objects by adjusting the PASM levels and modes on the camera. Such as your shutter speeds, lighting, etc. As for dark area pictures, I took pictures of my dog in the dark and it looks like I took the picture in a well lit room. Just use your flash when you take photos in the dark, whether it is inside, or outside. As for the video, for a little camera, the sound and quality are impressive. JJ

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 :)

It's a little dark in bright light but seeing it hasn't been a problem for me, it is better than most camera's in bright light. The camera seems to be optimized to take pictures outside and in bright light. It takes very poor indoor pictures or pictures with dark lighting.

Yes, the camera works fine in normal light conditions. Don't expect amazing quality however. This model offers video recording only, not FPV.

Friend the camera records very well in low light day. At night you have to putting on an extra lamp for darkness. and where artificial light very well ... records It is an excellent camera.

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.

Yes, I have been very impressed with the low light pictures. The only complaint I have is you can't force the flash on in auto if you want some fill in light. However, you can force the flash on in other modes.

I agree that the camera does not work well at all in the dark but is fine in daylight and hope that will be upgraded or improved in future versions. Other cameras might work better for night but mine does go off if senses motion.

It has a built in Flash. If you need to shoot in low light I suggest a tripod. But it is well worth the money. In fact I am suprised it sells as low as it does. The zoom is amazing as well.

I've used it with very limited light and it does fine with mimimal noise (grain). If you shoot on TV mode at 60 speed. A tripod would of course help at that slow shutter speed.

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.
