Is the sony a6000 good in low light?

The a6000 is fine in low light, but it isn't a low-light specialist. Its 24.3-megapixel APS-C sensor collects less light than a full frame sensor at the same framing and f-number, so it will be noisier at high ISO. The camera also has no stabilisation in the body, so low-light shooting depends on the lens. Sensor sizes explains the trade-off.

Lens speed matters more here than the body. Some picks from the a6000's lens list:

• Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN Art: fast aperture, a good low-light standard zoom.
• Sony FE 28-70mm f/2 GM: very fast for a zoom, though it's a pricier pick.
• Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS: slower, but stabilised, so it helps with slow shutter speeds.

If you shoot in dim rooms a lot, a fast prime will help more than any body upgrade.
