Not sure how much you want to drop on the camera, but the Nikon P80 is a pretty good choice with lots of manual type options. I got mine from Cameta for $200. You can find them all over as factory demos. It originally had about a $350 price tag. Another option, with some minor differences is the P90. It is however a bigger camera than the P80. After that, I would say maybe you should get a beginner DSLR which run about $500-$600. (D40x, D60 or D3000 are good beginners). From what I have seen of the L100 - it falls short in options, and ultimately I chose the P80 as the backup to my DSLR. (It helped that I have two family members that have it, so I know what it is capable of!)
