In that price range, I would start looking at:
Canon G6
Olympus C-7070
Sony V3
Those are excellent cameras with 4X zoom.
If you are wanting more zoom:
Canon S2 IS
Panasonic FZ20
Both have 12X Zoom with image stabilization.
.......................
For low light shooting (with flash), the Large zoom cameras will have the stronger flash (covers larger area).
For low light shooting (without flash), any of the cameras will work.
But....you will have to use the manual controls to get good results with that type of situation.
