Which video camera is the best in low light?

Anyone know a cheap camera that works good with low light and has a video option?

  • I'm a teenager, and I don't know much about cameras. But I really like photography, and I would like to purchase a good camera. I need something that works well in low light places (like concerts) but also has a video camera option and has good quality there too. I would like it to have a few options like fish eye, black and white (most cameras come with this, but you can never be to sure), and 3 second timer. My budget is about $800, but I would love something as cheap as $500.

  • Answer:

    A good photography camera would be either the Nikon D3100 or the Canon T3 or T1i. They usually come with a kit lens that will do you for most situations. A fisheye lens is quite expensive, but a low light lens, e.g. 50mm f/1.8, is less than $200. Here are the specs compared. http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=canon_eos1100d&products=canon_eos500d&products=nikon_d3100 All have HD video, I know the Nikon has B&W and I'd be surprised if he Canons didn't but check. All have delay timers. You should be able to get any of these for around $600, and then you can buy lenses to do whatever interests you.

if you want a dslr, go for a D5100($750) and a fixed(prime)lens, such as the 50mm f/1.2 as mentioned. is you want a superzoom/point-and-shoot, go for the Sony HX100V, it's has a 30x zoom and full hd video recording, i used that camera before The Nikon D300s work really well in low light. I loved that camera, a little expensive($2000)
