I have a Canon Rebel t2i. I didn't get it primarily to shoot toys, I use the video mode most of the time for various other projects. It has really good low light capability, because the sensor is fairly large(sensor size is a huge factor in picture quality, don't look at stuff like pixel count necessarily, they can fudge that). The larger the sensor the better it does with less light.

Depending on your budget, look for something with interchangeable lenses, they're doing a lot of cool stuff on micro 4/3 cameras now and they're the lower end of the dslr market.

There's some good point and shoot cameras for even lower, but you might have to do some research on which one would suit you. They all seem to excel at doing one particular thing excellently and other things fairly poorly. They usually have a ton of gimmicks you probably don't need, like GPS tagging or the ability to send instantly to twitter.
