I purchased this camera for paranormal investigations. Yes, I needed to take photos in low light conditions and get clear crisp photos without using the flash.Right out of the box with the EXR setting I took photos of my basement with available light after 7 PM. The photos turned out great. I have tried the night settings both handheld and on the tripod and was pleasently pleased with the results. The P, S, A, M settings give you a lot of control over the camera with the menu settings. But keep in mind this is a compact camera not a DSLR.This camera takes clear photos of the family even catching the motion in doors under light bulb lights. The colors were true and not washed out.Outside you can get close ups of bees in the flowers catching the fine details of the bees with a nice blurred backgrounds.The double exposure setting is very interesting I was able to put a friends head inside a crystal ball.This camera with serve you well if you get to know the settings needed to work in various lighting conditions.The GPS feature posted the location of my living room as the university art gallery. The University Art gallery is 3/4 of a mile from my home. Hope the GPS improves with future downloads. For now I turned it off.FujiFilm has produced a winner with this long 500mm lens I will not miss a shot because this camera fits in my pocket. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I needed Raw & GPS. Add a 25mm to 500mm, 35mm equivalent, very fast start-up and focus; great shooting modes and functions, it's great. It was selling for $40 less.
