If you’ve ever tried capturing indoor concerts with a point-and-shoot camera (the only practical kind unless you’re a photo pit pro), you’ll know a thing or two about grain, and how impossible it is to get a half-decent shot. Fortunately, us concert-goers and gallery, museum and theatre attendees (where flash photography is often forbidden), now have a compact camera at our disposal that is designed for, and excels at low-light shots.
Called the Low Light Digital Camera, it features a 4X wide-angle iZuiko zoom lens (previously only available on chunky SLRs), which offers exceptional brightness through its wide-wide-open f1.8-2.5 aperture stops – letting as much light in as possible.
Also equipped with a rapid 1/2000 second shutter speed for crisp, grain-free shots and to freeze fast action on stage, the Low Light Digital Camera features a highly sensitive ISO3200 10MP CCD, a vivid 3-inch LCD OLED monitor for greater compositional contrast and offers optional SLR-like manual control through a dial around the lens.
Accepting capacious 64GB SD cards and also shooting HD 720P movies, the Low Light Digital Camera is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $549.95.
