Action photos in low light?

Use flash or burst mode?

Burst mode might be a solution
I never use flash as I don't like the pictures it gives.

I can't take pictures of my dog because she moves around so much, which causes the photo to blur or ghost. I was taking pictures at a jujitsu match and had the same issue; if the subjects weren't almost completely still, portions of the photo would blur. I agree with the person above about the Lumias taking way better night still shots and video...at least my Nokia 920 does. Last night I compared some daytime landscape photos I took with both cameras, and detail was about the same (8.7 vs 10mp), but color looked richer on the Nokia. The photos were different, so
I'll take identical shots (same conditions) with both and compare them, just to be fair.

So, the issue here isn't with the camera hardware itself. The camera is incredibly capable in almost every respect (except dynamic range, which is kind of unavoidable on a sensor this small).

This issue is with the auto-exposure. By default it uses an incredibly slow shutter speed because it overestimates the OIS and is not adaptive to the scene (moving objects, hand shake). If you look at the "details" of a saved picture, you'll notice even in decent light it's using a very low shutter speed and ISO100 and a larger aperture. As a stop gap, I almost always use "sports" mode. It doubles the shutter speed and uses a higher ISO and lower aperture, which is fine as ISO up to 800 is quite clean and aperture is a non-issue as depth of field doesn't come into play on a phone camera.

LG really needs to implement a better AE system for this camera to be worthwhile.

So it's better to get the S4 if we want a camera that works in more situations?

Not if other factors such as battery life are factored in. I still feel the G2 camera is a bit better than the S4 anyway.

how did it make thing better, did it do better taking video on low light.
