Which video camera is the best in low light?

What is the best low light professional video camera in the market now?

• High Definition with SD card

  Hi OFa Hil - I would add the Sony FS100 (the FS700's little brother) to that list. In my opinion, it is the best value-for-money low light, large sensor interchangeable lens camera on the market today. Last year, Philip Bloom did a very thorough pro camera low light shootout of pro cameras. He tested the Canon 5Dmk2, Canon 7D, Panasonic GH2, Sony NEX5N, Sony FS100, Panasonic AF101, Sony F3, and Canon C300. The extreme low light tests start at about 17 minutes into the video: http://vimeo.com/34637684 Notice how well the FS100 does against much more expensive cinema cameras, such as the Canon C300 and Sony F3. With a fast lens, it can almost see in the dark. The camera is on sale right now for $4200 body-only at Adorama (link below). Hope this is helpful and best of the New Year! Bill
