your find most cameras will be the same,its all about the lighting,what you might need is a spotlight to do the job!
It will cost a lot of money to get a video camera that performs well in low light.
It will need a wide aperture lens (over all focal distances) it will need a decent sized 3 CCD sensor. If you are after one that will do a similar job to the night shooting you see on the telly then you won't get much change from £30,000.
For consumer cameras you can either use the infrared night shooting facility or you get curtain liners and turn the lights on.
Draw the curtains and turn the HIGH POWER SPOT lights on!! :giggle:

When you are looking for Cameras try and go for the one with the lowest Lux number.
Most of them have this in their specs .
The lower the lux the less light they need to give you a half decent picture.
Go to they're professional adult film makers that use that forum but they will be able to advise you.
Here's a thought... If all concerned are fairly patient people, and any of you or your friends have a slight artistic streak:
You could ask allparticipants to take their time 'doing what they're doing' as it were. I mean realllly take thier time.
Your Artistic friend could whip off some quick life-action sketches as the scene unfolds... provide plenty of paper... and indeed stacks of pre-sharpened pencils.
paper by the reem too.
sketches at the rate of about one every 2-3 seconds should do it... have no fear, the initial roughs can be returnedto by the artist and tidied up a little.
have everything bound well in a flexible cover when you are happy with the result... and 'presto'... your very own sexual "flicker book" to share with your friends and family.
enjoy

Wow. We didn't expect so many replies. But after reading through them we'll add a bit more.
We're not looking for making anything professional. Just home fun. So adding great big lighting stands isn't really where we want to go.
But we have so far found out that low energy bulbs just don't pick up well at all...
But the Everio we have is just a real let down. The webcam looks better and brighter when we play on here, but sadly it lacks the quality...
But we will go looking at the L rating of some more cameras tho. And keep you all posted...

Don't forget that you only really need to light what the camera sees. Some cameras have a built in light which is great for up to about 5 feet away (full length person in view). Or, a normal desk spot-lamp right next to the camera if using it in a fixed position.
can i volunteer to hold the camera for the first experiment?
I am the bloke across the road..lol..save your money and let me watch..
