How are the pics in low light outdoors and sports action shots?

I bought 3 of these for my family. Takes awesome photos. Good low light images. I don't use for action shots much, but no doubt in my mind it would do a fine job. My next, easy to carry camera, will be in this family line. I had the model before this one too. Good choice.

we have been very satisfied with evening shots, such as moon rises and the only 'sports action' would be our puppy running.

The camera does well for both because there are specific camera settings (night/low light and sports/action). I took great shots at our bonfire the other night and the sports/action setting takes multiple shots per second. I have never been disappointed with this camera.

I just received my manual a few days ago and haven't checked into all the camera will do. Will definitely try the action shot.

If you can follow action with an LCD (no eye level finder) the camera is capable of making an image. It would not be my first choice for action shots.

Yes, especially in bright light. It somewhat depends as well on how steady the photographer is, of course. The HD movies are also really crisp, and I've used stills from these as very nice photos.

I have taken at least 100 photos withe Sony CX260V. Daylight photos are acceptable but not the quality I would want if I was using a 8-9 meg pixal camera. Low Light shots are worse than expected. I am working with the camera now to learn how to use the manual features instead of auto features and have been able to make some improvements in picture quality. Even better on the video recording side using the manual feature settings versus auto. Basically - it is a decent HD video camcorder with a camera feature that is nice to have when you do not want to carry two cameras.

There is a bit of a delay, so it's not great for taking action shots. It's a generally great camera, and I love it a lot, but you do have to anticipate a shot.

Not sure if the exact lag time but it's very low. Takes pics really quick. Also has sport mode on it so it keeps up with movement

I have not used it for action shots - just for landscape shots, so I cannot answer your question.

Outside no problem. Inside or in low light you need to boost the ISO quite a bit. If you are shooting things that move IS is no lost at all this is because for most sports or bird in flight you need to be at 1/500 anyway to freeze the motion. I had the lens for over a year, was hesitating to buy it for exactly the same reason and in the end its a really fantastic lens and I don't miss IS at all.

I think the low light ability is fairly good. Once the light level drops below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to B/W.

I cover High School sports, and in teh fall that means football, outside, at night, in varying light conditions. I typically run ISO3200, and the camera works fantastic. The camera is overall far better than I had hoped, and the pictures are fantastic.

Pretty good. I don't use it for sports where I need quick follow up. I also have not tried quick follow up flash. I do notice when a camera is slower than reasonable between shots but I had no complaints. I actually bought this because my son has one which he really likes. He would definitely complain if it was slow between shots. He likes his and I have really liked mine. Just get an extra battery or two. Amazon for under $10. Hope that helps

This camera does not have a "sports" setting. It does have a "burst" setting for continuous shooting when you hold down the shutter button, but it is not real fast. If you are taking single shots, its not too bad, especially outdoors.

Not really an issue for me, as use this camera mainly outside. Takes great photos outside.

Does pretty well in low light; however I always shoot raw and post process in Lightroom 5.

It copes pretty well, but you should operate under low loght conditions in manual mode.Personally, I am satisfied with the way the camera behaves in low light situatuions, but it depends on what do you expect - it is one step above the majority of the point-and-shoots cameras(as the model is indende to be).For example, I got some amazing photos and videos of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan sceneries during night from the Hudson river.Generally speaking, I can say: yes. :)

Sorry, I don't know. I have great results on auto focus, Closeup indoor with flash and action soccer shots, zoomed in outdoors. Tip: On the out door action shots, regardless of natural lighting, I ALWAYS use flash--I believe it shoots faster with flash on and stops the action better.
