How is this camera in low light situations?

I have owned this camera twice!! lol. I bought it and sold it to my sister in law and then tried playing with some SLR's and didn't like the cost for buying lenses. This camera is about the best I have seen in its class. Its low light capability is higher than most power zooms on the market right now it will go up to 12800 ISO which is higher than most.

Very good in low light situations - rarely have to use the flash indoors-eh!!

The G5 does surprisingly well in low light! I am a bit amazed at the pictures I can take with street lights as the only illumination. There is sensor noise; somewhat more than with my Nikon D600, about the same as my Nikon D7000. Noise elimination post-processing cleans it up fairly nicely. On the other hand, consider that most Micro 4/3 lenses are fairly slow. So unless you get one of the fast lenses, you'll be using the "low-light" capabilities more than you would if you had a camera with an fast lens. The lens based anti-shake system works OK, but it's not as effective as some costlier systems, so a tripod is a must for "available dark" shooting.

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

I have yet to try this camera at night. It does, however, work well in low light conditions. I would say that the range for good images is around 15 feet, but this camera does not have the same high resolution as a normal point and shoot.

In low light situations it seems like it takes longer to focus. For the $$ I am extremely satisfied with camera

When there is decent lighting the image is great....this is not a night time or low light camera....there is a low light version but it has a narrower field of view..... I have 3mp hikvisions and dahuas, this is not as good, but still works well considering that it has built in mic and speaker....

Any photos developed yet? My one concern is low light photographs...Just wondering about quality and ease of use. How easy are the automatic features to use?

This camera is great for both still and video, bud autofocus in low light is great just adjust the iso and try to find a low light lens

Works great in low light, but depends on the lens you use and what your shooting.

It's a little dark in bright light but seeing it hasn't been a problem for me, it is better than most camera's in bright light. The camera seems to be optimized to take pictures outside and in bright light. It takes very poor indoor pictures or pictures with dark lighting.

The Sony DCR-SR42 handycam shoots very well in low light conditions. I use it in ghost investigations exclusivly in zero light . I do use external Infrared for brighter video but the nightshot it comes with is very good too. Great camera and I will buy another with out hesitation. Awesome camera.

It does work in low lighting but it depends on the distance and if its on the manual modes. anything other then the manual...you will get grainy photos.

Low light performance is pretty marginal -- about a full stop more noise than is typical for its class. Otherwise, the camera is excellent -- quick, excellent viewfinder, plenty of external controls, very good image quality. The 16-50 2.8 is an unusually good kit lens.

Depends on definition of "Low" light. Inside buildings with artificial/natural light, works very well. In darkened areas where you think you might need a flash, it will still take very good pictures. The camera does give you a red warning if the light is too low to be acceptable with out flash.

It isn't bad in low light, just use a wide angle lens to use as much light in the area as possible and you shouldn't have any problems.
