When taking pictures without enough light, you can increase the camera's light sensitivity (ISO) to avoid blur, which usually decreases image quality. A camera's low light performance score is measured in ISO, and is a measure of how high you can set the ISO on your camera and still get a good quality image.

Snapsort uses metrics from DXOMark to determine how good a camera's image quality is at high ISO. DXOMark only benchmarks cameras that shoot RAW, which covers most DSLRs and a few high-end digicams.
