Olympus EPL-1

http://thephoblographer.com/2010/04/06/hands-on-and-hands-off-olympus-epl-1-review-nyc/

This is the micro 4/3 form factor DSLR. You can get it for $440 at B&H Photo, very reputable shop, by the way.

Also shoots 720p HD video.

It comes with a telephoto lens, but you will also want to get this “pancake” telephoto lens.

With a pancake lens, it will fit in your shirt pocket! The lens has an f/1.7 rating for excellent light sensitivity.

If you wait until May, you can get the EPL-2

If you just want a point-and-shoot, I can recommend the Nikon CoolPix s8100

DPreview is great. Also check out Camera Labs. Gordon Laing has specifications and video reviews on a wide variety of cameras. I looked at both sites when looking for information on the Canon T1i and again when for looking at the Canon G12.
