does this camera work well in low light?

It's acceptable in our gym, for like basketball, tennis motion analysis, at 120 fps. It should be OK at 240 fps, unfortunately the light source gives heavy blinking at that speed.

In hs mode no. I mean you have to be aware that if you are shooting HS the camera needs more light, because of the time of the "exposition". Now in normal video is fine, I would say average. Pictures I don't know I don't use it for taking pictures.

The times i have used in low light it has surprised me. I took a picture with my galaxy S2 in my living room at night with just the T.V on and no lights which turned out dark and couldn't see anything. But when i used the Casio and selected low light it was like i took a normal picture just slightly dimmer but still amazing quality. I have not tried it in pitch black but where normal cameras fail it pulls through with clear pictures.

It really depends on what you are doing. Video in low light is not going to look good. High speed video in low light will look terrible. But stills in a dark bar or bowling alley look fantastic for a small camera by using the "Best Shot" feature set to "High Speed Night Scene and Portrait." It takes two photos back to back, (wait for both flashes) and combines them. While it does not match the quality of a DSLR with a wide aperature, it takes a much better photo than you could ever hope for with a phone and this camera still fits in your pocket.

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.

It performs well in low light, sometimes throws a shadow, but I think that is my inexperience as a user. Wonderful lens!

Not at all. Like most digital cameras, it is a great camera and it takes great pictures when there is adequate lighting.

No. Just setting for low light filming, which IMO are very good even when there is minimal light.

It performs very well in low light, but not in a total darkness. It is not weatherproof.

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.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer. We have just started using it and haven't had the chance to use it in low light. We do think it's a really cool camera though.

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

Does pretty well in low light; however I always shoot raw and post process in Lightroom 5.

No, but it does work reasonably well in low light. One pair I purchased works extreemly well, one pair seems to always be just out of focus.

As long as you are steady, it is a very good performer in low light. It also has a number of settings you can adjust for the low light situation, and I have gotten some great shots with it. It is excellent in movie mode at night.

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 :)

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.

No. Although the camera is very capable at low lights, its capability is limited to slow moving subjects because the camera's sutter speed slows down to compensate with low lights.

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

Seems to handle low light shooting (Especially with high ISO) very well: http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2012/10/09/night-time-street-shooting-with-the-sony-rx1-amazing-high-iso-samples/

Its actually not too bad. I use mine all the time in low light situations, but with any camera the lower the light your filming in it will start to look grainy. This camera comes with a light you can attach, so all you need to do is turn that on.
