In my opinion, if you want a camera for low light conditions, I highly recommend a decent SLR. Due to the fact that SLR sensors are much more larger than point and shoot sensors, they'll perform much more better in low light conditions even with small aperture (big numbers).
I've been using a Canon Powershot G6 for a few years. As you may know, the Canon G series from the Powershot G1 to G6 all have a maximum f2.0. Even when using a large aperture of f2.0 when taking low light photos with the G6, any recent Canon or Nikon SLR will outperform with a larger aperture settings. Large sensors on SLRs help even though the G6 and LX3 have larger than average sensors sizes for point and shoot cameras.
