Point and shoots too bland, but not ready to tackle a DSLR yet? Don’t fret, there is a happy medium out there with these “super zoom” cameras. The Canon PowerShot S3 IS is one of the top contenders for the heart of the intermediate photographer.This is a 6.0-megapixel camera with a 12x zoom. It includes a 2-inch LCD screen and image stabilization (hence the IS in the name). It’s available for $300. [Dell]
