NPR offers suggestions for a point-and-shoot, compact, and DSLR:
As summer gets into full swing, so does taking pictures. Whether it's at the beach or during a backyard barbecue, people often find themselves in charge of the food and the towels — but not in charge of the photo memories.
In spite of the seemingly unlimited supply of new "point-and-shoot" cameras on the market, many people have trouble finding the right combo of simplicity and quality that will take us from ho-hum to must-see photo status.
NPR's multimedia director Keith Jenkins offers tips for the amateur, including how to choose the right type of camera. Jenkins tells NPR's Robert Siegel that you should make your choice based on how much you want to spend — and how much you want to carry. Jenkins gives insight on three types of cameras — the camera phone, the point and shoot, and the DSLR.

The three recommendations are: iPhone 3GS, Canon G10, and a Canon DSLR. The iPhone I sorta have, the G10 is on the list, and the DSLR... well, soon as Nikon introduces the next generation, I'm there...
Nice arsenal for capturing the essence of summer. :D
