Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: What digital cameras do extremely well in low light (11/2/2011 10:56:01 AM)

Dusk ish, indoors, bright sunlight but where you're shooting is in shadows. a lot of times if you have to use the zoom on my kodak easy share Cx7330 the picture comes out dim even if you're in bright sunlight:( I'm willing to budget up to 1k.
I want good quality even if I'm not going to blow it up. It doesn't have to be excellent quality, cause most times I do not blow up the pic, but not grainy or blurry or anything like that.
Yup, a point and shoot. But I want one where the speed between photo's is fast, like photo .. boom next photo. .. is supposed to indicate how fast it can take pics instead of most where it's photo...... ready. Some of the shots may be of moving stuff, animals and children after all do not always hold still for your shot. You need to be quick. I saw a nikon 36x zoom that seemed pretty impressive, but it's rare I am gonna need to zoom that far I think.
I don't want aa batteries either I want, I think they're called lithium batteries or cell, I don't have the correct terminology I think.

Aileen and LaTigresse and others have covered things well. I would ask these questions though:
When you say "low light" what do you mean?
Do you have a maximum budget in mind?
Also, what are you shooting photos of?
With the parameters you gave, assuming on my part you're looking at point & shoot type cameras, you're kind of on a unicorn hunt. That said, it does depend on what I asked above, as well as the outcome you're seeking. If you're shooting still things in your low light, and aren't looking for maximum photo quality to say, print and enlarge, then you may be able to find a P&S camera to suit you, look for one that gives you the highest ISO you can find. If you want to shoot flogging action shots in a dim dungeon, without using a flash, and getting close up shots from a bit of a distance, and have sharp, clean 8x10's made, you're in a much more expensive neighborhood, one of high end DSLR cameras $2600 and up.
Other things to note, digital camera sensors are at their worst collecting data at the dark end of the spectrum, using the "digital zoom" feature on cameras tends to be less than useless from an image quality standpoint, you'll be better to limit yourself to the optical zoom, and choose a camera accordingly.
