Yeah, the "night mode" works okay in low light but does you no good in pitch black. I don't find myself taking pictures in the darkness though. It is afterall a smartphone not a camera. Just make sure you change your resolution, it comes super-low to save disk space. My buddy has a Mesmerize (exact same phone than Captivate on US Cellular) with GB, it was set at 0.3MP, he kept complaining about his camera til I played with the settings for him, haha.
