We are planning a low light color shootout, focusing on image quality in color mode at night, light levels ranging from <0.1 lux (very dark, nearly no light) to ~5 lux (similar to a lit parking lot or city street).

What cameras should we include? We will be including the latest generation super low light models from each manufacturer, such as:

** **** (** **** *****) **** more **** *** ****** *** ************ to **** ** ***** ***********, ** well. ** ** *** **** ** include ***** ********* ***** ****** ****** (e.g. ******* *****) *** ** ***** ***** **** cost, *** ******** ** *** ***** of "******" ******* ** * *********.
