How do you "set" it for low light...?
At 1/60th with the lens wide open and the gain at
+18db, its low light range is rated the same as
the TRV50, etc., hardly good... The TRV950 picture
at the "bottom end" of its range may be very good,
though, but getting it to go lower would require
using slower shutter speeds, with the expected
picture degradation... The VX2000 (at $2350) can
produce a good picture at a much lower light level,
often necessary for some types of work.
