I might rent this camera for prom, so I'll be shooting stills and video. How good is the quality and autofocus in low-light over the D3200,or period?

This camera is great for both still and video, bud autofocus in low light is great just adjust the iso and try to find a low light lens

Yes. It's a good camera in low light conditions. You can take the ISO very high and the auto focus does well in low light conditions. Good luck!

Just purchased the Canon SX40. It is truly amazing. There are not too many boats out on the ice right now, but I think it will do what I want. The picture quality is fantastic. Shortcomings? Since I'm a newbie I don't understand why some pics are blurry and others not; but that is probably more my inexperience than the camera. Also, it shoots 1080 video only at 24 fps. This is still pretty good, but there are some situations where a moving video is less crisp. But I could always switch to non HD if I choose, and have 30 fps that way. Thanks for your help.

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 :)

Wanted to let you all know that I decided on the D7000 and picked one up today. Couldn't be happier. Continuous autofocus during video shooting is useless on it, but I'm learning to manually focus, which is actually more rewarding for me; when shooting at f/1.8 you can get a very cinematic look focusing manually, even when you're chasing around your twin toddlers!

I really enjoy my D3200. It takes great pictures. I think it would take great concert pictures, but lighting could be a problem depending on your proximity to the stage. I don't think the built-in flash would work well at a distance. However, there are times when I turn the flash off for indoor photos because it takes great photos in low light. You could take pics in manual mode also. This camera takes great video, also.

S120 ;) (sorry don't know anything about the Nikons so I really have nothing objective here, but, I love this camera, love it). This camera is worth it's weight in my pocket for what it does when I need it to. Unreal quality and speed, and the video is on par with my 6D if not better in the same 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

The battery runs out kind of quick...but I run the lens a lot. The shutter speed is good. Just dont' usse the face identity option while taking the pictures. Auto focus is pretty quick. I still like it....and I have had it a while now.

I have the Sony. (Took 3 thousand photos and video on an international trip). It is mostly fine, but there are 2 complaints with which I agree on the message boards. 1. Blue purple tint and glare from the lens coating in bright sunlight. 2. In general, not perfectly sharp pictures usually. (I have 5 year old Kodak 5mp that is often more sharp). The good...amazing motion stabilization. 'Able to take photos in almost any light condition without the flash!! I also have some good photos from moving vehicles. Very compact and no protruding lens or lens motor. Quick startup. HD movie is ok also. Acceptable battery life. FYI. There are assorted complaints about the Canons also. I have now read enough not to expect perfect photos from ANY point and shoot, but like you, I hate to drag around that Nikon. (You might try one of the new cameras with a bit larger sensor, like 4 3rds).

I use this lens on the D3200 fine, I can't confirm yor model but usually they are interchangeable. This is a DX lens so I didn't have to do anything other than snap it on and shoot. It's auto everything no need to focus manually etc. Depending on the speed of your camera and when using sport mode, fast shutter speed, this should be good for you to use without use of a tripod. But when zoomed in you will find a brace, unipod or other stabilizer helpful. I am very happy with my purchase. It's not too heavy as other zoom lens are when you go above 300mm, which means I use it more. Hope thisis helpful info.

It's not bad. I come from film days. This high ISO stuff is all foreign to me. Ha. I seldom shoot faster than 400 ISO so it's fantastic. AT higher speeds you get junk and noise. But you get that in all cameras. No matter what u choose remember that photography is just writing with light, very bright light. Though digital marketing seems to say we can use less bright light... It's just marketing...

Video quality from the camera is great. Just make sure you're using the STM lenses otherwise you will get the motor noise when it's focusing. Also, autofocusing with video is a little slow to lock-on compared to most camcorders today.

It rocks. It's low light performance is excellent and it's lens can reach out from the back of the hall. I used this camera to take stills at my son's graduation and get superior results. I did not shoot video.

I only used it indoors once around Christmas time & the pic's turned out looking great! The G15 is definitely a great camera & very speedy at that. Very little wait for anything from shot to shot even when I use the flash when needed. I have a friend that has the G12 which is a good camera but this G15 is by far superior. For the money, compact size, it's well worth it. More on low-light just google it & look at the 1st few links which will have examples.

Rent it first to see if it works for you. It works great in low light, but many people find the autofocus performs poorly in low light conditions. A full frame DSLR might work better, but it won't be as light. Finally, the A7 probably isn't small enough to get passed security if you don't have a press pass for the venue.

Hello,This camera is great for any event and if you plan to take more shot it will need to add the battery pack. A bit heavy and for low light situations it depend on the lens at most. With current D800E design of my view that way enough to cover. Thank and hope can help Make sure that serial numner not on recall list. Enjoy!
