Here's a place to start -

Personally, I use the Canon T2i DSLR and have a Fuji F50fd that I can put in my pocket. No small camera will come close to matching the quality of a DSLR, especially in low light, but the sacrifice is cost and size. Don't be swayed be megapixels - think of them in terms of film, with more pixels being the equivalent of finer grain film. Think of an old cheap junk 35mm camera compared to a 35mm Leica or Nikon - both will take the same fine grain film, but the results are dramatically different due to lens quality and other attributes.

If you want something rugged, water proof up to 33ft, freeze proof up to --10f and dust proof I got the camera for you...
Panasonic Lumix TS2
I purchased it because my point and shoots were not lasting! Between dusty sensors, water damage, lens not closing error, etc I had enough... I really like the camera and Amazon has them for $300 and free shipping! C
Check it out!
