Harry, I got the Canon G12 as a Christmas gift. It's a very nice point-and-shoot that isn't a shirt-pocket camera, and actually has enough heft to feel like a real camera. Also, it has a viewfinder, which allows you to take many more shots on one battery charge than if you use the LCD screen. My daughter, who is a photographer, tried out several similar camera's, including Nikon's newer offerings, and decided this was the best high-amateur non-SLR she could find.
The G12 is not cheap; I believe it sells for $400-$500.
