Re: Low light video with Powershot SX60 HS?

The SX60 has a small sensor and a slower aperture. Both of those are huge obstacles to good video indoors or after dark. The only chance you have is keeping the zoom at the wide end where it is f3.4 and adding as much light as possible (turn on lights, open drapes, etc).

It's just not designed for low light.
