Is the panasonic lumix g97 good in low light?

The G97 is a Micro Four Thirds camera, so it won't match a full-frame body in dim light. Its sensor gathers less light, which works out to roughly two stops behind full frame at the same framing and f-number. You can narrow that gap with the lens. A fast prime gathers far more light than a kit zoom, and the Panasonic Leica DG 25mm f/1.4 II is a sensible everyday choice. For more speed, look at the Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.2 PRO or the Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.2 PRO. The G97 page lists the full lens range. If you shoot a lot of dim events, the sensor guide will show you whether a bigger sensor is worth it.
