ContourRoam2
Like the Liquid Image Ego, the Roam2 is pretty much a point-and-shoot action camera. However, the Contour's advantage is its waterproof body, which keeps it protected down to about 3.3 feet.
An excellent camera for travel (though you'll want to get a couple extra batteries for it), the SX260 HS is nice for both casual and experienced shooters looking for excellent photo and movie quality, and its 20x zoom lens covers a lot of range.
The WB250F is a solid step-up camera for smartphone photographers without completely losing the easy sharing capabilities of an always-connected mobile device.
For a grad who's an advanced photographer or just wants something better than a point-and-shoot but doesn't want the bulk of a dSLR, the NEX-6 is a great choice.
