I'm looking for a compact camera for amateur landscape photography and travel. Never got into DSLRs because of the bulk so I have minimal knowledge of using them. Interested in Canon G7X Mark II but a bit too expensive for me. Wondering if it's possible to find anything with similar specs between RM1k-1.5k?

Are any of the models suggested good for low light & night shoots though? I forgot that I mostly have a bad time with iPhone cameras now because I can't get good pics at night.

Unfortunately fast lens compact camera don't come cheap. You need to spend a bit more for a good low light camera. There are cheaper older models like the 10mps DMC lumix with f2.0 lens which you probably get second hand or online. 

Alternatively you can buy a cheap entry level camera m4/3 or apsc (mirrorless) from second hand and pair it with a "pancake" prime lens which is usually fast and quite cheap  depending on model. But still that probably still cost roughly around RM1800 if not mistaken.

Hmm, based on online reviews, I'm leaning towards RX100M2 atm but I'm gonna look for a 2nd hand Lumix. I'm too noob to spend more for a too advanced kit. I'm willing to go a bit more than 1.5k if that means the specs will be vastly better.
