Um, as I said, "shot in suitable light"...;-)
Actually, I do use one-chippers in fairly dim
light at weddings - the best will produce an
acceptable image *after* adjustment during
editing - down to just short of their low-light
limits... It is amazing that a surprisingly good
image (for VHS copying, or brief viewing as DV...)
can be pulled out of the murk with tone-adjustment,
brightness/contrast, color-balance, saturation-adjust,
and sharpening filters use - though the price is
large grain, not generally unacceptable for brief
viewing if the footage otherwise matches the
predominant nice, sharp, colorful footage
around it...;-) I would not suggest using a
one-chipper as a primary commercial camera - and
I have advised against doing just that, unless
financially there is just no other choice...
