I'm a street photographer. My 100d is great in good light but atrocious in low light for city night street photography. Iso 6400 is literally appalling and focus in low light even with my 24mm f2.8 stm is very poor. Stunning daylight set up and has bagged me some great shots but come dusk let alone night it is just atrocious.

Is the 200d much better in poor light?

If not I'll likely go back to Fuji as I like a small compact apsc set up and was happy with my x-100T.

Had a Nikon d5300 which was stellar in low light but no primes wider than 35mm and I like 28mm and 35mm equivalent as I stopped using zooms.

So if the 200d or m50 are not much better In low light I'll need to go back to fujifilm. Worse battery life but astonishing iso 6400 and great low light focus.

Cheers

I have an SL1 and don't find it too bad. But for real low-light capacity, I picked up an A7 for $500 and it has a DxO rating of 2248.

A Sony A7S has a rating of 3702.
