Q: QuestionDoes it take good indoor photos and low light photos?

Asked 7 years ago by GeorgiaMomOf5.

• A:Answer No, it does not. Indoor, living room low light photos are always dark. Unless you have natural lighting bulbs, and lots of them, your photos will be dark even with the flash. This is the one and pretty much only flaw with this camera.
