The images from the S26 and SX60 are both fuzzy and faded, while the MG670 and F34 retained a good amount of color and detail in low light. Both the Sony DCR-SX60 and JVC GZ-MG670 also lasted for a much longer time than the S26 (130 minutes for the Sony and 143 minutes for the JVC).

Both the JVC GZ-MG670 and Samsung SMX-F34 appear to have retained a good deal of color and sharpness in their low light images. Then, you must open the joystick menu and press down until you get to the last tab (number 5/5) where you can adjust focus. The joystick menu is confusing, the LCD display while setting focus is of no help, and the whole system is rather convoluted.
