What's a point-and-shoot camera that's good in low light?
My boyfriend recently damaged my Kodak EasyShare M853, which was pretty good in low light situations. I had previously been using Fujifilm FinePix cameras before that, which I were pleased with. However, when I went to go look to replace my Kodak with another Fuji, it seems that Fuji has gone to crap and the one camera that is good in low light (Z220fd) isn't even available in stores.
I've looked at Sony Cyber-shots (I'd get one if they used SD cards), Nikon Coolpix, Olympus FE5010, among many others. It seems the Coolpix sucks. I just don't know what to get.
I'm looking in the $100-$200 range. What is a good camera to get for shooting in low-light situations (something I do frequently)?
I'm thinking I'll just go with the GE A1050 since my parents have one and it's amazing in low light conditions (and all for 80 bucks). I was just hoping I could find something that didn't use AA batteries since they get so costly and I loathe rechargable AAs.
I've noticed that rechargeable batteries don't last long in any of my electronics as regular batteries do.
And while GE is an appliance company, the camera I'm looking at is pretty much amazing. There was absolutely no noise at all in any of the pictures I took in the pitch black situation I was in this past weekend.
And major brands don't mean anything. Schwinn used to be a big quality bike manufacturer. Now they slap the name on Chinese-made crap that falls apart in months. The same thing happens in the camera industry as well.

I hope you do realize that a GE camera is made by an appliance company, not a camera company. I have seen many complaints about GE cameras on here.
What is so bad about rechargeable AAs? All decent batteries need to be charged. I use the Sanyo eneloop rechargeable AAs for my little Canon, and they work very well. They come charged and stay charged out of the camera. They seem to last longer in the camera, too.

Ok, my own point and shoot camera is a Sony DSC-W300 and I've been pretty harsh about it's low light ability. Having spent part of the weekend a couple of weeks ago looking for a replacement for that very reason I came to the conclusion that it's no worse than any other point and shoot out there (in fact in hind sight it's taken some good photos in low light, I'm just spoilt by the superior quality of stills taken by both my DLSR and camcorder in low light!).
I'm not going to suggest any particular make/model but the things to look for are:
A major brand: Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, Pana-Lumix, Samsung.
A Physically Large lens
A High ISO: A grainy picture is often better than no picture at all.

I recommend Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 12MP Digital Camera with 5x MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD
