Is the sony a5000 good in low light?

The a5000 is fine in low light, but it's not a low-light specialist. It has an APS-C sensor, which trails full frame by about one stop, and it has no stabilisation in the body. Your lens choice matters more than the camera. Look for a wide aperture like f/2.8 or f/1.8, and for stabilisation (listed as OSS or VC) if you shoot handheld in dim rooms.

Two lenses from the a5000's catalogue suit that brief:

• Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD is a fast, stabilised all-rounder.
• Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN Art gathers a lot of light for indoor portraits.
