What digital camera shoots the best video in low light conditions?

Question

I go to bars a lot where they have good bands play. I would like to buy a digital camera, not a camcorder to take video clips. What is the best camera out there? There is usually low light in bars.

Answer 1

You should look for a didital camera that has at least an 800 to1000 ISO rating. These settings are designed for low light situations. Basically, the higher the ISO number, the better the camera (or film) will operate in low light. See the link below for some tips, tricks on getting the best pictures in low-light situations.

Night vision cameras are ok, but they only capture in the Green color spectrum.

Answer 2

Fujifilm F30 and F20 are good at low light. Read reviews at Amazon, DCResource.com , and other places.

Oh and another thing, don't rely completely on the ISO ratings, yes they do show when a camera's better at low light, but at higher ISO levels there tends to be more noise, so before you end up making your choice go to Flickr.com and use the camera finder feature to see pictures taken by the camera to see how well it works in normal conditions with normal people, a lot of times the people doing the reviews are just better at using the cameras than us non-camera techies so their shots might be a bit better than what any of us could do normally.

Answer 3

I wouldn't go below that either. The experience i had with video taping was at Concerts..So they had to have a better MP and zoom than a 7 just in case i was far. So yeah. But, the cameras i loved were GE 7.0MP Digital Camera, A735 and a Kodak 10.0MP Digital Camera, EasyShare M1033. both good choices. The Kodak one is a bit more pricey than the GE but still both amazing.

Answer 4

buy a digital camera with night vision...so that you can see better even in the dark....
