does the video do well in low light?

Mine didn't work in low light. I had problems and never could get it to work unless I was right there pressing the record button. Also, when I asked, I was told this was motion and light activated but mine would only work with noise and it had to be loud. Just opening a door wouldn't activate it like I had thought it would.

The HD10 doesn't do very well in low-light environments. The video quality is poor with a very grainy image. The camera works really well in the outdoors during the daytime.

Yes, the pictures it takes are great, provided there is enough light. If you purchase I would advise buying an extra higher capacity battery. The battery it comes with won't last longer than 2 hours. Otherwise it is a good, inexpensive video camera. I would recommend it.

I am not sure....image/video is decent if lighting is decent. Otherwise it's dark ish (not totally bad). Hope this helps your decision.

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.

Yes, it has... but the video is little grainy if the light is not enough...

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

Yes, especially in bright light. It somewhat depends as well on how steady the photographer is, of course. The HD movies are also really crisp, and I've used stills from these as very nice photos.

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.

I have been able to see nighttime shots but they are quite grainy as would be expected. IT does recognize movement and take video when there is no light, yes.

Yes, you can get pretty good pics under low light conditions. I've tried similar cameras, and I didn't get better quality pics than the ones I've got from the WX50.

Not at all, the pictures are high quality. My husband uses this for work. I have used it for work to record video and take pictures for our website. I have found in low light situations that it is best to leave the camera on auto, it truly can determine the best shot.

Results are somewhat dependent on your camera. However, I've not had good success in low light conditions especially at high zoom settings.

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

Hi David, The minimum illumination in NTSC Auto mode is rated at 1.2 lux (with auto slow shutter selected - shutter speed 1/30 sec.) In Low Light mode it is rated at just 0.1 lux (shutter speed 1/2 sec.) This, with an image sensor of 1/3-inch HD CMOS Pro should be enough to make the video very acceptable in low light. Art Speck

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.

it doesn't do well in low-light settings but it does do great when there's adequate lighting.
