Aileen and LaTigresse and others have covered things well. I would ask these questions though:
When you say "low light" what do you mean?
Do you have a maximum budget in mind?
Also, what are you shooting photos of?
With the parameters you gave, assuming on my part you're looking at point & shoot type cameras, you're kind of on a unicorn hunt. That said, it does depend on what I asked above, as well as the outcome you're seeking. If you're shooting still things in your low light, and aren't looking for maximum photo quality to say, print and enlarge, then you may be able to find a P&S camera to suit you, look for one that gives you the highest ISO you can find. If you want to shoot flogging action shots in a dim dungeon, without using a flash, and getting close up shots from a bit of a distance, and have sharp, clean 8x10's made, you're in a much more expensive neighborhood, one of high end DSLR cameras $2600 and up.
Other things to note, digital camera sensors are at their worst collecting data at the dark end of the spectrum, using the "digital zoom" feature on cameras tends to be less than useless from an image quality standpoint, you'll be better to limit yourself to the optical zoom, and choose a camera accordingly.
