if night photography is your thing, seriously consider going film. You can get an excellent used SLR camera with a couple of lenses for about $150.00- and buy film in bulk. The quality will be better than digital if you're doing long exposures at night. The reason is that digital cameras will have some noise, especially if you do exposures over 30 seconds, because the sensor heats up. Film does not have this problem- if you shoot a low-ASA film, it will be clean.

Nearly any of the new DSLRs are terrific for low light. But, if you're looking for a camera you can put in your pocket: Fuji F20/F30/F31fd the best ever made for high ISO, but hard to find. Fuji F100fd. Probably the current reigning champ in high ISO capability. Panasonic LX3: Given it's bright lens and better OIS system, will go head to head with the F100fd. Downside is that the zoom range is 24-60mm (i.e. wide!). Actually, perfect for taking indoor/Vatican type photos. The 60mm is just barely long enough for portraits. A bit pricey, but a real enthusiast's camera. Yeah- go with the LX3

The Canon 7D seems like a great camera from the reviews ive read but it costs around $1700!
If you are going for a DSLR a great camera is the Nikon D3000. First of all Nikon is a great brand. Second of all if you buy it from bestbuy soon it comes with an extra 55-200 mm lense and camera bag, which are great for just buying a camera. Third of all its only $680, thats pretty cheap for a DSLR but it still has 10.2 MP, 11 AUTOfocus points, has a 3" LCD screen, and has shutter speeds up to 1/4000-30 sec.
If you are going for a point-and-shoot camera, then look for something with a good flash. Thats all i can really tell you because i dont really use point and shoot cameras, im a SLR and DSLR person.

It's not so much the camera but the lens and sensor size. You will always be far better off with a DSLR and a fast (1.8, 1.4) lens.And a larger sensor doesn't develop noise as fast. Point an shoots are very limited. Tripod is imperative for nightscapes. Try one on your present camera if you haven't already.
