So, you want to take photos of the night sky, stars, or night scenes? Or, perhaps you want to capture photos in small, indoor venues where the lighting is poor, or you might want to shoot underwater where the light levels drop dramatically as you descend into the depths of the ocean… In all of these situations, a camera that performs well in low light is what you’re going to need.

For low light photography, you need a camera with a large sensor and bright lens (f/1.2, f/1.4, f/1.8). The latest sensor technology such as BSI CMOS sensors give an advantage here as do cameras that can handle noise well.

Low-light is also going to lengthen shutter speeds so if you don’t want to increase the ISO speed to reduce exposure times, image stabilisation will help, either in the form of lens-based optical image stabilisation (OIS) or sensor-based image stabilisation (and in some cases, you get both).
