No such thing. Camera is a tool - each has its strengths and limitations.
A lot of where you end up will depend on your budget. If you have the $$$ and are serious about photography (or thoroughly enjoy it as a hobby you engage in frequently), spend some and get a recent release dslr camera - or maybe even consider the new swappable lens non-viewfinder/mirrorless models from Nikon (N1, I think). My thinking is that the newer camera have improvements over the older ones (sensor capability, processors, megapixels, etc.) - even in the less expensive models.
If you are on a tight budget, you may want to look at some of the newer prosumer models with all the manual controls, as well as looking for used equipment. Biggest disadvantages of the prosumer models generally are the size of the sensor and non-removable lens.
The biggest determiner I "heard" in your post is the desire to shoot in low light - that either means a decent tripod or a recent model camera (released 2009 or later) or both. Most major manufacturers have increased the ability to go into higher ISO settings with reduced graininess in recent years - still get more grain / less detail at the higher ISO's, but better than older technology.
Good luck - let us know what you settle on.
