Canon 40D hands down. Actually, the point and shoot canon's have a hefty feature set that many consumers would be pressed to master and I would highly recommend them. I have always been happy with my Canons/

I got myself a D400 a few months ago and it's great. I'm behind on the non-SLR tech though. I wonder if, at this point, P&S technology is so good that anything will be sufficient for taking snapshots?

We had initially planned to buy a new point and shoot style camera but decided on this one because I wanted more of a toy (more buttons, more options etc), I still have an awful lot to learn about it.

As long as what you're photographing isn't moving too quickly or anything - P&S cameras still have significantly slower auto-focus times (and power-on times and delay between shots). I've got a Canon A70, dating from 2003. Only 3MP, but it does take nice piccies - so long, as I said, the subject is reasonably static. I'm quite tempted by the Nikon D40 as an upgrade...

I bought a cannon A570 a few months ago and am fairly happy with it. Only annoying bit is the .2s latency when trying to take action shots, but from a bit of research I did, that's a fairly standard level with non SLR cameras. The image stabilization works reasonably well, and I can take several hundred pictures (with flash) on a single pair of AAs.

I use Sony Cybershot ...currently a 7.2 Mpixel model. I know it's trendy to hate big corporate companies but I like these cameras and the results I get with them. There may be others with better image processing software - I don't care about that because free stuff like Irfanview does it all anyway.
I'm peculiar to myself, therefore I am.

Just my opinion. SLR was invented to allow the operator see the image through the viewfinder using the very same lens that actually shoots the picture on film. This way a true image is viewed. The shutter is right by the film so when using the viewfinder, the film is not exposed. This design is necessary for film cameras but not necessary for digital cameras. Digital cameras can use the same light sensor to get the image (but not saving it) and show it on the LCD screen. This way the user is seeing the true image, making SLR and traditional viewfinder not necessary. All the different controls can be built into this camera to achieve what "SLR" cameras can achieve. However, camera makers are not doing this. They build more controls into SLR digital cameras than non-SLR cameras. The logic behind this is beyond my understanding. Personally, I think SLR cameras are not convenient to use because the traditional viewfinder has to be used. I would fully discard SLR digital cameras if the makers put all the controls they put on SLR cameras to non-SLR digital cameras. Unfortunitely, this is not the case.
