I replaced my camera last winter. I haven't gone all out for a dSLR due to the $$$, but I bought an SLR style Point and Shoot. It's a Kodak P712. 7.1 MP, 12x opical zoom. It has a Hot Shoe, and the bounce flash that Kodak sells for it, "talks" to the camera's computer so there are no manual settings required on the flash itself. Nice thing is I'm able to use filters as well, they offer a telephoto and a wide-angle lense for it too.
Some specs:
.07 second shutter response
432mm zoom
5x digital zoom (60x total)
14 frame burst
2.5" LCD and digital view finder

Did I mention I love this camera? I paid about $400 for it, and bought the lens adapter ($13), a UV Filter & Polorizing filter for it. I want the bounce flash next, $150. Each of the lens are about $150.
