The Sony does very well including situations with mixed light sources such as daylight and house lamps. It also works surprisingly well in low light situations, however the longer exposure times required can lead to blurred images because of the longer shutter time. I often have better results using available light than I do using the flash which is not powerful enough to reach too far. This is not to suggest that the Canon wouldn't work as well or better.

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

I haven't used this camera in a while, but from what I remembered it handled it self pretty well in low light conditions. It depends a lot on the light that is available. I am assuming you're looking to rent the camera because of it's size, but if size is not an issue, there are probably better DSLR's out there that handle low light conditions better in terms of speed and ISO performance. But, for its size the Ricoh does a really good job in low light conditions.

Yes, it is excellent! The Pro Low Light setting when using Macro mode makes it a snap for indoor close up shots!

It works well indoors, and my experience with regular lighting of a room has been quite good. This is an exceptionally good camera for the price.

Outside it's excellent. Indoors......it depends. What is the ISO number that you or the camera has set ? Remember a higher number will give you a faster shutter speed. Also with all reviews / questions answered I look at the date they were posted. Back in 2013 when these were 1st answered I was using a 60D, & at higher ISO ranges like 2500 / 3200 I got much noise. But now with a 70D, there isn't that problem, In fact, by reading reviews here on Amazon & elsewhere that's one of the big advantages of that camera. So for me using this lens in lower light be it indoor or outdoor in an evening situation, big difference. Outside it's excellent. Indoors......it depends.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.

I have been through the Powershot SD500 and the G7. My sister has the G9 and we have not have issues with those cameras. Yes, my old SD500 still has issues with low light and I have worked around that having it for this long. It was just time for me to try out Casio and see how the new FC100 did. No, I have not tried video yet but I hope to get a chance in next day or two to let you know. being in a gym shouldn't be a problem as they "usually" have good light but don't take my word.

i am also looking for a good indoor shooting digital...not slr, smallhow about the canon s95, the newest one?

In that kind of environment, where you're standing in the dark but the kids on stage are lit, it performs very well. In fact, we had a concert at my church a couple weeks ago and I shot in those precise conditions... and the pictures turned out great! Oh... don't be afraid to bump your ISO, even up to 3200, and you should be fine. ヅ

Yes, I am very happy with quality of indoor pictures. I use this camera for all my pictures.

I need a camera that takes good action pictures indoors. My daughter is a dancer and my point and shoot pics are always disappointingly blurry.

The camera works well in just about any light. It has many settings and features that help with this. We actually have 2 of them now, the oldest being 2 years old. They both have been trouble free and take great pictures. We did, however, take a photography class to help us learn how to use the options and and get great photos. I hope this helps.

I just got mine today and have taken 300+ pictures. I've previously owned all Kodaks and a polaroid digital and I think this one takes excellent photos indoors, even with flash on (I usually always hate flash!). I have a 20 month old and have found that the ISO scene selection along with the "burst" shot mode works great for getting him in action.

I've also done alot of research on these two cameras. I have not purchased either one because I'm still deciding. I personally have seen some BEAUTIFUL "kid" pictures with a Sony camera. The only drawback I see with that camera is the expensive battery pack (plus you need an extra back-up) and some poeple have difficulty using the connecting software. The Canon camera looks cheaper in the stores. When you decide...let me know!

I have no complaints. Love the camera. Took amazing pics underwater!!! And happy with the indoor pics as well. It isnt a professional camera... If your looking for professional quality pics then shop on. I am a photographer and know this is a point and shoot and it does its job very well!

I rarely, if ever, have to use the flash since there are so many options for using ambient light indoors and out. however the flash can be used as a last resort. I find that with lights on in interior shots, using the right options, even using manual settings, I get a better result than using artificial lighting from a flash. Take several shots using several settings using AUTO, MANUAL settings, SCENES and see what type of effect best meets your requirements. Great, flexible camera.
