Does any manufacturer still manufacture camcorders with 0 lux nightvision?

best camcorder 0 lux image

DearJonLet

I have been trying to find a 'new' model camcorder with 0 lux nightvision and the only one I see is the Sony hdr-XR550V which is $1299. I see plenty of low lux, but no 0 lux. Have all manufacturers stopped carrying this feature on camcorders???

Answer
Aiptek and other cheap chinese cameras claim to have the nightshot feature, but i wouldn't recommend them.

Does a camcorder have to be 0 lux to pick up infrared light?

Stacy L

I want to be able to shoot in complete or near complete darkness. The camcorder I'm looking to buy is 1.7 lux with it's night time mode. I was wondering if I got an infrared light to go with it, if it would pick it up or if it has to be a 0 lux camera for that to be possible?

Answer
IR has little to do woth lux - it has to be sensitive to infrared light - period.
