i want a camera for hillside temples in asia at night - they are fanatstic but very low light - my cameras just show black and a few pinpricks of light (a temple lantern etc) - but this night one loses all color - are there cameras that combine this low light sensitivity but retain color (an essential element).

Or is it basically out of reach until you get to professional cameras that cost like a car?!

Or maybe i have to use an analog camera for very low light colors?

thanks

@BiggerThinking1

I'm sorry to report to you... but if you want a high quality, color video image in LOW LIGHT I would expect to pay about $60,000 to $80,000 for a camera&lens system that can do it. High quality, low light, color imaging is one of the "holy grail" video camera specifications. Very rare.

does it see heat sources? can it be used in zero light to see heat?

[LanceCampeau]

@mmmartin261

No, this is a "near" infrared camera (700 to 1200 nanometers). To see heat you would need a completly different camera and sensor technology... a "far" infrared or thermal camera sees lightwaves in the 10,000 nanometer range and beyond... The Sony camera can not see this type of electromagnetic radiation.

u remind me of alan from the hangover

@LanceCampeau actually u CAN see heat...but in normal conditions the ir emission is so low the cheap sensors cant catch it. but u could see thinks that are very hot like 1000° hot metal...
