I bought a Canon G12 compact as it is a lot smaller than a DSLR for touring on the bike and it has a lot of manual control. Shutter speeds down to 15 seconds, spot metering, manual flash, picture formats 16:9 3:2 4:3 1:1 4:5. 1 problem I found with compacts is the minimum aperature of f8, not much good for shots of water with a slow shutter speed for blur. So Canon put in a ND *4 in it. It even takes videos.
Costs more than some DSLRs though.
