JVC Everio S camcorder low light test

My new JVC GZ-MS100 camcorder does surprisingly well in very low lighting -- the colors wash out, but you can still see what's going on and motion remains smooth. Slowing down the shutter speed and turning on the built-in LED light would brighten things up, but this footage was taken at normal 1/60 shutter speed and with the camera's light off.

I tried photographing a night train which you can see on my channel and the train was just a blur. Check it out. Also what size filters fit this camera. I have yet to find out what size it is.

@shooting4fun 30.5 mm.

is this camera any good? One time i thought about getting it but they were too expensive like 500 bucks. they r probably pretty cheap now b/c everyones going HD. Personally I dont need HD im fine with 4:3 video but my PSP has a 16:9 screen and so does my 19 inch Sansui HDTV.

This model was never anywhere near $500. It was JVC's entry-level flash memory camcorder for 2008, originally $250 or so but I got mine on sale for $179, and until recently they had refurbished ones selling for around $150. The closest new model from JVC is the GZ-MS120, which is a little bigger and has two SD card slots. However I would recommend the Canon FS200 instead because it produces clearer video (even while still being Standard Definition) and has an external stereo microphone input.

Thanks, really helpful.

@CSquire82 Yes, I always use the camera's highest possible quality.

[coondogtheman1234]

thats a nice camera but a little big for me. I like my can on powershot but id like to be able to use it to record stuff from TV like a DVR. I would use it to record gaming videos.
