Splurge
Canon PowerShot G11 $500
Even though this high-tech point-and-shoot is smaller and less expensive than the professional cameras, the pictures are just as good. It's a smart shooter, with settings that capture great images in a variety of environments. The standout feature is the flip-out swivel screen that allows you to shoot or record at any angle by just moving the screen -- instead of crawling all over the ground. usa.canon.com
