Digital low light performance, whats’ the problem?
I’m looking for a new digital still camera as well as a camcorder. The one consistent thing I read in various reviews are complaints about bad low-light performance; noisy, dark images. Why is this such a problem and how come no one has done anything about it and cornered the market? Where are digitals lacking that film isn’t? Also, any reccomendations for models in the sub $1000 category are appreciated. 
First, remember that film photography is a chemical reaction to light that has been refined over 100 years. Digital photography quality is tied to sensor technology (sensors and image processing chips/programming). The better sensors/processors become, the better our photos will be. That said, the main challenge today is to make a small sensor that will capture enough light in darkness to resolve a clean image. In a pocket sized camera, that’s still difficult even by today’s technology. Digital SLRs have larger sensors and are recognized as having better low light performance. Low light performance has been improving on some models faster than others (Product design focus maybe?). Fuji’s F series (the F20 and F30 come to mind)have been notably recognized for better than average low light performance. Shop around and read reviews-most reviewers test low light performance-all camera are not created equal (even from the same manufacturer!).
