>that handles low light shots decently without too much noise
You're not really going to find that in this category.
If you're willing to break the "under 300," your options include the Ricoh point and shoots (widest lenses available on a small-sensor camera, AFAIK. 24mm equivalent, I think.) and, yes, some of the Lumix cameras. The DMC-FZ8 isn't too wide (36mm equivalent) and is a little bulkier, but it's worth considering.
The DMC-LX2 has a 28mm lens. Only get a Lumix, though, if you're willing to shoot raw. The JPEG output is horrible.
One more option: An older Canon Powershot G. Fast (f/2) lenses, pretty large sensors for a point and shoot, and without insane megapixel counts.
