This camcorder performed poorly in low light indoor conditions. Perhaps it does better outside on an overcast day — if that is what you call “low light” — but it was miserably bad in my house. The only room that produced acceptable video was my kitchen, while standing under a double fluorescent light with a bright incandescent light in the adjacent eating area. Other rooms, with 40W incandescent lamps were a blizzard af digital noise/speckling in the daytime.
I went through all of the ISO settings and high-sensitivity lamp mode with no significant improvement. They brighten the overall room lightness, but dark areas were still heavily speckled.
I even purchased a video light that was designed for use with Sanyo Xacti camcorders. It brightened people’s faces, but dark curtains, furniture, etc. were still speckled.
Fianlly, the zoom autofocus is terrible indoors. It barely works at all and that is being kind.
I found this camcorder totally unacceptable for indoor use. I primarily record the grandkids’ birthday parties and family holiday gatherings; so this won’t work. I consider this product to be defective based on their sensitivity claims, poor low-light performance observed and a dysfunctional zoom autofocus.
I returned it to Amazon this morning and when I receive my refund I’ll probably buy the Sony HDR-CX500V. Take stunning Full 1080p High Definition video at 60fps and amazing 8 megapixel digital photos! The Sanyo FH1A Dual Camera is also the worlds first ca. continue reading.

Hello everybody,
I only want to warn to buy this camera, if you want to use it really at the water. Even if you keep all restrictions of the manual (5′, 60min) you can get problems.
But if you want help from Sanyo you get the answer “Maybe you didn’t closed the battery door well.” But after loading the battery nearly every day it could be happen or it comes in a hair, a grain of sand, maybe a dust particle. So they proposed me to repair the camera for more the $400! Now I have to buy a new camera, but not from Sanyo, that’s clear! Stop fussing with bulky underwater housing. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Waterproof Digital CameraCorder captures both high-resolution 8-megapixel digital s. continue reading.

The Sony A200 camer, I did not get a clear picture out of it yet, the reason that I gave it a 2 stars, because it will not take AA battery, and it will not take standard flash,( like my Vivitar, 283, 285.) The reason that I bought it, beacuse, I have all other camers already, and I like to try out for a sony, and turn out this is the worse camer that I have, because it will not take standar flash. Set your creativity free. The Sony (alpha) DSLR-A200 camera is poised to welcome you into the exciting world of DSLR performance. A DT 18-70mm and a . continue reading.
