That is a consideration. Of course, none of the cameras on the list will not be stellar in low light with the lenses listed. The M4/3 camera bodies will, however, give a better image and also allow more choices. Since weight was mentioned, I suggested the Bridge Camera because it is self-contained. It might make sense to find out if low light and lens changing are something of interest.

Bridge cameras are an option, but since he wants some good low light capability, I think only Sytlus 1s would be an option due to sensor size.

Sensor size is far less of an issue than lens size.

Probably a Sony RX10 II.
An interchangeable lens camera will only be better if you buy some proper lenses.  Dual kit zoom?  Get a good bridge camera instead.
