Do not get a little compact for use in low light, horribly noisy! As large a sensor as possible. The 4/3 sensor is a lot bigger than a compacts while an APS-C is another jump again. Obviously physics has not changed so a faster lens will let in more light as usual but the fact remains that the smaller sensors need far more light to give a decent photo and are noisy and lack dynamic range. Only you can decide how much noise is acceptable to you. The best landscape photography is often done at either end of the day which means low light so if you want to travel light and not use a tripod then maximise your chances by going for as big a sensor as you can with as fast a lens as you can and perhaps use a mono pod/walking pole.
