I'm thinking of getting a cam recorder. With my still camera I dislike using flash indoors or poor lighting conditions as it disturbs the people I take phots of. I myself am visualy impaired and know how flash disturbs what vision I have left. You may be able to advise which cam I should go for of max bugit of £300 as well.
Thank You. David

The lower the LUX rating, the better the camera will perform in dark conditions. CCD cameras used for astronomy give good performance at 0.005.

Wrong way round!
0 lux is no lighting and 10 lux is a candle at 30ft. 32000 lux is normal daylight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux
Hence there's a lot of "night vision" cameras that are marketed as "zero lux" cameras (not quite true, they just use a non-visible frequency of light!
A good camcorder, that will work at 5 lux in normal mode and 0 lux in nightshot mode is the Sony DCR-HC24 mini DV camcorder:

It is also able to take still shots as well as videos, so you will be able to do both.
It's on sale in Jessops for £199.99 so it would easily fit into your budget too.
