I haven't had much chance to use it but I did toy with it as soon as I received. So far, I am REALLY impressed with the low-light quality. The camcorder seemed to kind of illuminate what I was taping when in our home that has awful lighting, like made it not as dark as it is in person which was great for us. I plan to have my husband record some clips of our baby's birth and use this for little home videos and stuff mostly but wanted great quality video and I think we made a great choice with this camcorder.The only negatives so far have been that the touch screen, to me, is kind of difficult but its probably because I haven't had much experience with anything touch screen so I feel I have to be really gentle with it when in fact you don't. The other thing is I tried it out outdoors briefly and when you're out in the sun, its near impossible to see anything in the live view, which was kind of irritating.Overall I am VERY pleased with the purchase! Though I will add I paid [$] on sale for this camera and not [$] like it is currently listed.

Used at sons graduation, receptions, weddings and it had great low light capability. I was able to see more and brighter colors through the camera than with my own eyes. In the auto mode it will sometimes switch between capture settings and you will go from great low light capture to not so great low light capture.
