low light

JVC GR-D650 review

Reviews The high-end entry in JVC's line of D-series compact camcorders, the GR-D650 offers low-light performance that's better than you'd expect in a budget-priced camcorder. Automatic exposure and white balance are fast and accurate, though autofocus can...

Hitachi DZ-GX3200E review

Genius G-Shot DV1210 review

Reviews It may be fine for outdoor movies, when biking, sailing, skiing, skateboarding, or falling on to concrete, but image quality is poor in low light. It's pretty light, even when loaded up with AA batteries.

Sony DCR-PC55 review

Reviews Unfortunately, it compromises on video quality, which runs from mediocre under optimal conditions to poor in low light. Sony's trademark infrared Night Shot modes are absent here; the only low-light option is a Color Slow Shutter mode.

Sony DCR-HC90 review

Reviews Sony does provide Slow Shutter Mode, an automated setting designed for low-light, tripod-mounted shooting, but that's it. The spacious CCD enables the camcorder to deliver splendid low-light performance, as discussed in 'Image Quality'.
