I want to get a DSLR, but they're so dang expensive when you include the lenses... Meanwhile, I probably should just get a digital "point-and-shoot" camera until I can better afford something from the SLR world.
There are a few creative controls which I need to have a wide range of (manual) control over as well as automatic settings. In order of importance these controls are: aperture, focus, shutter speed, exposure, and manual zoom. More than anything, I really want the best possible macro capabilities available. And minimal shutter lag. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine. ;)
Could you please point me in the right direction? I'm kind of leaning toward the Nikon Coolpix S10 or something like the Canon PowerShot S2 IS (I really like the swivel screens). Compact is awesome, but full body is okay too.
Thanks for your help. :D

Look for a review of the Canon G9. Try dpreviews.com or popphoto.com

If you can still find the Canon S2 IS it's a wise choice as is mine, Sony DSC-H2.
Consider CanonS3 IS.
Although only 4X optical consider
Canon A640.
