>>228658 Willing to process raw files? Panasonic FZ-8 or FZ-50 if you don't need wider than 35mm equivalent, Panasonic FZ-18 if you do. (Great cameras, bad JPEG processing.)
Not? Canon SxIS series.
Though you should know these are in no way "combos" with an SLR. They're shaped and handle roughly like them, but the viewfinders are very different (I personally actually prefer them, but I'm in a stark minority) and, in contrast to almost all DSLRs, they're stuck with one lens and have a much smaller sensor, which the latter means more noise, less dynamic range, and more depth of field.
And any DSLR can be used as a point and shoot. Set it to continuous AF and automatic/program mode, and it's a point and shoot, just as simple as the thing the size of a deck of cards you see in Best Buy.
For most people, if a DSLR is within your budget, it plus a kit lens and/or a 28/2.8 and 50/1.8 is the best call.
