I'm currently looking at buying a new reasonable priced compact camera. You've summed up 
my requirements exactly.  

One of the key factors for me is decent low light performance (it's mainly for the missus and 
she seems to take lots of photos at night  when she is out with "the girls" and the higher the 
MP, in on a little 1/2.3 sensor the more low-light noise.

But getting an 8MP camera is now very difficult. The push for more and and more MP has 
got ridiculous - it' all 14MP now - who needs that for holiday snaps when you will probably 
download then  to a PC and never print 99.9% of them - and if you do, you're not going to be 
printing  posters.
