So im looking around for a new compact camera, the reason that i want one of these is i have a d5100 but i cant nearly bring that around as much as i would like. I have been looking into the canon G7x because of its AMAZING low light performance, does anybody have any other suggestions?

The G7x is a good camera, other options are the R100 or RX100 from Sony.  What is your budget and what features are important for you in the camera?

I would like some decent low light preformance out of it however that doesnt have to be amazing. I would also like to stay below 550 if possible

550 USD?

A Sony RX100 mk II is exactly 550 USD on B&H

A Canon G9x is 480 USD in B&H

You can have it with an old film camera stylish look

Both should be about the same, look at their specs and see which one feels more suitable for you.
