This review is from: Sony HDR-CX100 AVCHD HD Camcorder with Smile Shutter & 10x Optical Zoom (Silver) (Electronics)
Recently bought this camera with same results as review by E. Sharon. Great for outdoors in good light, otherwise it is so grainy you might as well not bother with HD. Even with 100 W light bulb in a 10 x 10 room, picture was so grainy I thought the product was defective. I brought the camera back to the store, and one of the salespeople said that that was pretty much going to be the picture quality with such a small sensor size. I then returned the camera for a CX 12, which was head and shoulders above the quality of this camera, which it should be given the higher price point and larger sensor. Overall, it's a great camera outdoor use, however I would not recommend it for indoor use. If you need a camera that works indoors and in lowlight, go with the CX 12. Hope this is helpful.

I have never had an HD camera so I cant compare it to anything but, this review is correct. This camera outdoor is disgustingly beautiful, the res and pictures are incredible. Inside it really really suffers, its VERY grainy, dont ignore this above post like I did. He is correct, indoors its almost unusable. Now you know this, purchase this accordingly. Find this "Sony HDR CX100 (Six Flags)" on utube to see what this baby can do outdoors

Have you tried to turn off the auto-shutter (slow shutter)? I found doing this substantially reduced grain in low light.

yea just tried turning that off, I couldnt notice a difference.
this cam is not to be used indoors, I think not only my review but other reviews around the internet confirm this.
