Is the sony rx100 vi good in low light?

The RX100 VI is decent in good light, but it isn't a low-light specialist. Its 1-inch sensor is small, and the sensor guide explains that a bigger sensor collects more light, which gives cleaner high-ISO images. Its f/2.8 maximum at the wide end helps a little, but only at the wide end. Once the light fades, expect noise to show up sooner than on a larger sensor.

For dim rooms, concerts, or night street work, look at the Sony a7S III instead. It has a full-frame sensor and is built for low light, though its 12.1 megapixels make it a weaker choice for stills. The RX100 VI page has its full specs if you want to compare.
