...but...

A friend is shopping for a new digital camera. He does not want to deal
with the weight and complexity of a DSLR, but he wants a "really good
camera" with enough features to "take really sharp" photos and "maybe
intercnangeable lenses."

Well, I am not up to speed on these cameras and don't want to be. Any
specific recommendations I can pass along?

Canon G11. Top of the line P&S.

No experience with the G11 but we do have a Canon Powershot SD1200
which we like quite a lot. For economy vs quality, the older Nikon
CoolPix are hard to beat, well under $100 for a very decent camera.
