Have you considered the Panasonic FZ300? It's a bridge camera that zooms out to the equivalent of 600mm (24X) and the aperture is 2.8 throughout the entire zoom, takes 4K video and is splash proof and dustproof.
B & H Photo has a special going on now for $497.00 and no tax if you live outside of NY. Also same price on Amazon but you need to pay tax. It works great in low light. Not a pocket camera but not the size of a DSLR. Shoots both RAW and JPEG.

If you have invested in Fuji lenses, consider X-Pro2. If you want something closer to the X-E1 and a more modest price there is X-20. Not only will they resolve most of the X-E1 low light focusing issues, they will be a HUGE improvement in many other categories. (I still have an X-E1 but mostly use the X=PRO2 now.) If you really, realy like the X-E1 size shape and weight, be aware an X-E3 is rumored to arrive around the end of 2017

Hey, I have one of those! I used it with a 250 watt second "potato masher" flash until the flash died (in 1979). It's mind boggling to think that those cameras were made until 1973, right about the time the Nikon F was replaced with the F2. I know the comment was meant as a joke, but that camera was anything but a joke in its heyday.

Google Panasonic Lumix LX100. I bought one, as a travel carry-around recently and am impressed with almost everything about the little powerhouse. Doesnt fit in jeans pocket but does fit in Cargo type trouser pockets. Almost the perfect travel companion in my book.

Just ordered a Panasonic LUMIX FZ1000 4K QFHD/HD 16X Long Zoom Digital Camera for a cruise she is going on next week. The specs on this camera looks like it fits the bill.

You're the first one in 6 pages to mention the LX100! At the full frame equivalent 24mm view it is F1.7. It has an M4/3 sensor and the lens caries the Leica label.

So for a "low light" compact "travel camera" it fits the OP's requirements.

Hi. The lens is more important for low light than the camera. You didn't mention your budget or how much you know about a camera. Look into this camera https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1238183-REG/canon_1159c003_eos_rebel_t6_dslr.html
Learn how to adjust your camera for low light scenes http://blog.creativelive.com/low-light-photography-dslr-tips-for-making-the-most-of-dark-scenes/
I suggest that you look into a "fast lens" ( a lens that has a large aperture & can let more light into the camera). A lens that is a zoom lens. A lens that has a fixed aperture. Also think of the future and ask if you just want a light weight camera for vacations and snap shots of the family or if you want to learn how to take great photos. For a travel camera, keep it light weight, with a zoom lens.

Here are a couple pics I took in Israel with the FZ-200. I also have pics inside churches, under the Wall, and the cave system (Rosh Ha Nikra) near the border of Syria among many other places. I was there for 2 weeks on a tour. I have the Dome pic on my wall and it took 2nd place in my local camera club competition. My a77 and additional lenses were too heavy and bulky for me to take on the trip. I think I paid like $210 from an Ugly Hedgehog member in Nevada. The 25-600 zoom (not including digital zoom) combined with the constant f/2.8 aperture made it a good combination. It also shoots in RAW.

I always travel with 2 Fujifilm cameras. A xt1 for most shooting and an older xA1 that I bought cheaply on ebay. That way I always have 2 lenses - that fit either of the cameras. The latter camera on auto everything has taken great night shots erveywhere we have been in Europe...outdoors, indoors. Set the ISO high and let 'er rip. Take a look on ebay and see what you can find. I see several there $200-$400, if your pocket book allows.

Just a coincidence that I was in the same dilemma as the OP. On a trip last year to South America I loaded myself down with my D7100, 3 lenses inc a heavy 24-70 2.8. Plus the 'just-in-case Lumix LX3. For the first week I was okay with the Nikon gear, mainly using the 24-70, but after that week, more often I only carried the LX3. Lighter and less obvious.
Worked perfectly but when I got home and looked at the results the LX3 was certainly the poor cousin.
Now after a couple of weeks getting to know the LX100 I have a feeling my Nikon gear will get less and less use. The 24-70 on the LX100 suits me (probably not enough reach for many) but I dont mind using my feet and for small enlargements the results are good enough for me.
The decider, apart from the decent pics it takes, was the viewfinder, RAW capability, nice lens, nice zoom range, portability.

I am a D810 Nikon, shooter but always cary my Sony RX100V. It's good enough to shoot the Milky Way.

As usual I am a little late jumping into this conversation :( However, your question seems to be focused on which camera. Maybe you should focus more on the lens. There is no substitute for a fast lens for low light photography. Also, in low light (depending on how low) Auto focus can be a problem for any camera. Sometimes you can handle this by using manual focus. I switched from DSLR to Mirror-less maybe a couple years now. I went from Nikon to Olympus OMD's. I have found that my experience with low light is greatly enhanced. Some of this is due to the ability to use the touch screen to pick my focus point and take the picture. Another advantage is the enhancements in images using high ISO (note this is not restricted to just mirror-less cameras). My greatest assist has been from getting away from slower zooms and getting back to basics by going back to fast primes (f1.4 to f1.7). I am not trying to push you towards my choice in camera and I don't have any experience with Fuji systems except I have seen some pretty spectacular results with Fuji cameras. Nor am I trying to keep you from buying a new camera. More toys more better... In the vain of Toys for Big Boys and the one who has the most toys when they die wins :) Only that the solution may be in your current toy collection. Good luck and happy shooting.

It's amazing, with the 1.8 lenses.

Which 2 lenses do you usually have attached to these cameras?
