    Low light photography takes many forms. Besides the concerts and ballgames mentioned, sunset and twilight scenes are popular. And let’s not forget parties, weddings, and other events. Some of those scenes or venues just won’t work with flash, so you need one of the best compact cameras for low light photography to get good images. Low noise. Digital noise, that is. Similar to grain in high speed films, digital noise can lower the image quality of your photos. Used for a special effect, noise can be interesting. But generally, we want as little noise as possible. Which is another reason why we prefer larger sensors for low light imaging.

    Rounding out the usable features for advanced photographers are manual focus, macro focus, and time-lapse photography. For a small sensor camera, this is about as good a camera as you could possibly hope for. Solid and well made, too. This is easily one of the best compact cameras for low light photography! A must have!A top plate dial and ring around the lens are some of the easy to use physical controls, and the 3” viewscreen also shows deeper menu options for camera operation.

    Besides the viewscreen, this tiny camera also includes an eyelevel viewfinder. This is a nice addition to this camera, especially useful in lower light or for action photography. Having an eyelevel viewfinder lets you hold the camera more like a larger camera, allowing you to use the hand holding techniques you have practiced with other cameras.Even though this is a very small and lightweight camera, the different shooting stance of eyelevel tends to give better results concerning camera steadiness. Image stabilization built in also helps.
