If you want something with a traditional camera body and interchangeable lenses, Canon has something in the $800-$1000 range. However, I've been satisfied with my Canon Powershot S45, a compact model. Easy to carry around, a host of functions, good quality pictures. The thing I will say is that the interface -- especially for changing shutter speed and focal length manually on the fly -- is kind of clumsy, and that something that more closely emulated the layout on a traditional SLR body would be better. Of course, the designers expected most users to leave the camera in the auto mode or one of the semi-auto modes most of the time, but if you're interested in being tricky, you won't.
