Pretty good forum!
POINT and SHOOT = pretty amazing what they have out there nowadays. google and compare. I prefer cannon for cameras but theres just as many that will name off other brands to counter it.
The small point and clicks are pretty damn impressive these days especially if you know how to use a DSLR and start screwing with the settings you can get some really high quality pictures out of them.
Im a Nikon person when it comes to DSLR but when it comes to point and clicks Canon dominates. In the DLSR market i think its all in what your comfortable with I personally have no issues with canon im just used to the Nikon menus and have about 30 lenses so the switch would be stupid for me.
If you want some impressive images for around $1000 go buy a Nikon D7000 youll be pretty amazed.
Hard to pass up deals like this on entry level DSLR's. Even deals on the older models ie(Canon T3i or T4i) when the T5i is the latest and greatest of that model. Nikon vs Canon=Ford vs Chevy. Video on a camera is pretty handy compared to carrying a video camera and a still camera separately, so consider one with decent vid. I'd take an entry level DSLR over a point and shoot. The more pics you take and experience you get, DSLR's give you room to grow(add lens's, flash, diffusers etc), point and shoot's, you're looking to sell them(or gift em to you're kids, nieces nephews) and upgrade shortly after you're mastering them.
Canon 1D mark II - $400-$500 used
Canon 70-200 f/4 - $500 used
You can go up from there if you want to spend more on newer bodies or faster glass, but your results won't improve much for shooting moto. Don't worry about buying this stuff used, this body is one of canon's best of all times sports bodies and it's built like a tank. Same with the lens. If you can stretch for the 1D mark IIN I would suggest that body, you can find them with new shutters for around $600. Also, you can always get the 70-200 f/2.8 non IS for under a grand which is a great lens.
If you buy the setup above for approx 1K, you can get the same results of guys using the latest $8000 setup (1DX and 70-200II). Newer bodies have more megapixels and better high iso performance, but that won't help you if you are shooting moto in good lighting. 8MP should be enough for most people. If you decide to buy shoot me a PM and I will give you settings for the track. Then you will have to learn post processing, which is just as important as capturing the photo
Nice looking compact that takes great pictures. You can go for the x10 also which is much cheaper and almost as good. A smaller camera will give you better pictures because you will carry it more often.
But if you're looking for a good camera out of the box that doesn't require a masters degree to navigate, then a high end compact camera will do the job just fine.
The Canon G15 is amazing and very easy to understand, it allows you to take great pictures with a small effort.
It's a bit pricy though for a compact, it's about the same amount of cash for an entry level DSLR camera.
Simply just because it's a great camera.

Oh and btw, make sure that you have Adobe lightroom or Photoshop.
Nikon d4
Canon 1d4
Canon 1dx
If your on a budget the guy who said Canon 1d2 is right.
Good glass is just as important!
