Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The a5000 will be NO better unless you purchases a wide-aperture lens for the a5000 and that lens is about $1,5K. This is a very good low light camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.First lets talk about cameras with fixed lenses (lenses are not interchangeable). Within these, almost any small camera is not too good in low light. Their sensors tend to be very small and the f stop number is too large. And, they tend to have extremely tiny pixels which will not take in as much light as a larger pixel. On a given sensor size fewer pixels generally means better low light performance because the pixels will be bigger. A lens with a low f-stop number is better in low light. A larger sensor is better in low light. Combine all the "better in low light" factors and you are still better off. A good small low-light camera costs more, but if that is what you need you need to spend it. Since most of good low light cameras have limited telephoto you may need to cameras. Regarding the A5000. It will definitely be much, much better. Larger sensor by a lot. Larger pixels. Faster f-stop lenses are available. You can also consider some of the excellent 4/3 cameras which, in size, are between the HX50 point and shoot and the A5000. Disadvantages of 4/3 and A5000? Bullk. Weight. Changing lenses if that bothers you. Best bet? Two cameras, one for low light and one for everything else.
