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
Reviews As the little sibling of Hitachi's DZ-GX3300E, the DZ-GX3200E serves up an almost identical feature set and similarly pleasing performance, including better than average low-light performance. Low-light footage exhibited more grain than well-lit...

Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 review
Reviews But while this easy-to-use, touch-screen-controlled MiniDV camcorder won't break the bank, its grainy footage and poor low-light performance won't win any awards, either.DesignIt wasn't long ago that you'd have paid a premium for a camcorder this...

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'.

JVC Everio GZ-HD7 review
Reviews It's a pity, too, because the HD7 has all the features you'd expect from a camcorder in its price class, including manual aperture and shutter speed adjustment; a very nice manual focus implementation; low-noise, low-light video; bright LCD and...

Canon MV960 review
Reviews But although the Canon MV960 delivers the same top-notch colour reproduction as those of its predecessor, it's equally bad at low-light video and still photos. Indoors, especially under low ambient light, images exhibited considerable noise.

Kodak EasyShare Z650 review
Reviews On the one hand, the fast maximum aperture of the EasyShare Z650's lens makes it useful for low-light shooting, but we expect to find image stabilisation on a camera with such a long zoom lens. Shutter lag measured 0.4 seconds on our high-contrast...

JVC Everio GZ-MG77 review
Reviews Because of this colour separation, the image is generally better quality -- especially in low light. In low light conditions, there's an automatic gain control and a NightAlive mode that slows the shutter speed.

Panasonic SDR-S10 review
Reviews Image quality is disappointing, especially in low light, but for outdoor movies when hiking, biking, sailing and skiing -- or simply lounging on the beach -- there isn't much to rival it. We eventually discovered that it makes shooting at low angle...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 review
Reviews And while a less-than-wide lens and poor red-eye behaviour will mar some indoor portraits, any user will love the camera's 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD screen, its thin and attractive body, and its image stabilisation for keeping low-light pictures sharp.

Canon MD160 review
Reviews Canon now makes you delve into the menus to switch between widescreen and 4:3 recording modes, or to turn the camera's rather low power video light on or off. As we've come to expect from Canon, the MD160 delivers admirable colour reproduction in...

Canon MVX30i review
Reviews You might also want to consider stepping up to the MVX35i for its better low-light capabilities and higher-resolution LCD. Though the resolution remains on the low side, the feature set is on a par with many low- to midrange still cameras, offering...

Nikon Coolpix 5900 review
Reviews But the paucity of manual controls reduces the allure for photo enthusiasts, while poor low-light autofocus and an inaccurate optical viewfinder will disappoint photographers of all sorts. Visual noise remained fairly low at the minimum ISO 64...
