For an ultra compact I'd recommend a ricoh caplio r7, very small but has 7x 28-200mm zoom in a very samll package, has manual focus & good macro mode.
For the d-slr I'd look to pick up one the the olympus models with twin lens kit - like the 520, i think teds had it on special for 999, the kit lens are very good (some of the canon examples are below the quality of their cameras) and the usable lens range of the two is excellent. Olympus d-slrs also hace dust removal off the sensor
