  Compact Camera High ISO Modes: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review
This low sensitivity to light means the camera's processor has to work with a very weak signal and that brings a whole new set of problems.
At higher ISO settings the camera's processor is having to amplify a much weaker signal, and as it doesn't know what's noise and what isn't, the noise gets amplified too and you end up with an image where the noise is much more visible.
Small sensor compacts, by comparison, tend only to be able to produce low noise images at their very lowest ISO setting (usually ISO 50-100).

  Compact digital camera group test Cameralabs introduction
Compact camera sales dominate the digital imaging market, appealing to a broad range of photographers, from those who want the simplest point-and-shoot, to enthusiasts who are after a pocketable alternative for when they can't carry their more serious equipment.
At Camera Labs we believe a good quality compact could be one of the best investments you'll ever make.
Rather than review each camera in turn, we've singled out the most important features, such as resolution, lens and screen, and compared the models side-by-side so you can easily work out which will be best for you.

  Compact camera - Camerapedia.org
Compact cameras are cameras which have appropriate dimensions for putting them into the pocket of a jacket instead of a special camera bag.
Compacts can be pocket cameras for 110 film, rollfilm folding cameras for the small roll film formats, and, in most cases, cameras for 35mm film or APS film.
Several very compact viewfinder cameras like the Olympus XA which don't have all of these features are still mentioned as compact cameras too.

 Shutterbug: Compact 35mm And APS Cameras
These compacts are truly simple and exceptionally easy to load since only a small portion of the back cover opens for inserting the film cassette and then all you do is push the film leader into a waiting slot.
A number of compacts have an infinity focus button or setting which instantly sets the lens for infinity so you don't have to wait until the film gets back to see if it was focused correctly when shooting through glass.
Better models of APS cameras have a moderately fast lens (typically about f/4) and a broad shutter speed range (1/2 to 1/400 sec is about normal) so they are capable of existing light pictures without using the built-in flash when loaded with faster film.

 Tiny Digital Cameras, Ultra Compact Digital Camera Ratings
The camera has a "stunning" design and does a "very good job of taking pictures," but low-light performance is just "average." The image quality of the Casio Exilim EX-Z850 is judged "pretty good overall" with accurate color and very little noise, but sharpness falls short of expectations for a camera with an 8-megapixel sensor.
Cameras are assigned a rating of from one to five stars, so it’s easy to see which ones the editors rank higher.
Unfortunately, the cameras are not compared head-to-head, and the criteria for making the list is never spelled out, although it appears to be based on the site's own reviews, as well as ratings from other digital camera sites.
