As for your question...
Are you looking for a DSLR (camera like the one in my avi, I hope you knew that)
A Point & Shoot
or
Advanced P&S?

It may help you because OP is looking for a smaller camera that still offers nice results.
If you need any help, feel free to ask.

Yes, in fact, there is!
Picture quality is on-par with a DSLR but obviously have many limitations compared to their bigger brothers.
Such as zoom, lens swapping, ect.
^oh okay, you answered my questions with the advanced point and shoots.
this would be a better option for some one who doesnt want to carry around a big clunky camera and who just wants to shoot and not care about technical details.

Also, check out this website.

It breaks down tech specs to simple explanations and gives each camera a rating.
I was on it almost everyday before ordering my camera.

if occasional picture of car is all you want, i still say the advanced P&S camera.

My wife would love to use it and prolly use it more than me. Prolly just take pics of my car and my daughter while shes growing up and just to capture moments while she is young that we can share when we get older.
If you're interested in just snapping pics (but better quality than your iPhone) I would look at Point & Shoots or the Advanced P&S (you can change lenses on these).
Yes. 
Canon is their main competitor.
If you're interested in some other alternatives, look at the thread I linked above, and ask "srika" or is300eater" and what they would recommend.
I know 300eater shoots with a Sony (which produces excellent images). Srika uses a Canon and something else...I forgot though.

Some highlights that I could see you actually using...
- 50x zoom (up to 200x with digital)
- Lens stabilization (helps for those with shaky hands)
- Can shoot in low light (ISO goes to 6400)
- Shoots 13 pictures per second
(that's almost 3x more than what my DSLR can do)- Full HD movies
- 2.8" screen

you can use snapsorts comparison feature to compare different cameras.
Yes
However, (not that I think you'd need it) but this one doesn't swap lenses. It has an all-around lens built into it.
I'm not too familiar with how P&S rate their zooming capabilities, but 50x optical seems to be a lot.
Digital zoom is there but I wouldn't recommend making use of it because it does essentially, what your iPhone does when zooming. It blows up the image by zooming in on the area digitally. Trying to make sense of that so you can understand.
Optical zoom, good. Digital zoom, bad.

Here we go:
- Optical zoom: If taking a lot of photos from far away subjects is important to you, be sure that the camera you buy has an optical zoom. An optical zoom is a true zoom lens, like the zoom lens you’d use on a film camera. They produce much better-quality images.
- Digital zoom: Some cameras offer a digital zoom, which is simply some in-camera image processing. When you use a digital zoom, the camera enlarges the image area at the center of the frame and trims away the outside edges of the picture. The result is the same as when you open an image in your photo-editing program, crop away the edges of the picture, and then enlarge the remaining portion of the photo.
Enlarging the “zoomed” area also enlarges the pixels and reduces the image resolution and the image quality.

Ok did a comparsion on canon cameras the canon powershot sx50 compared to the rebel T3 and T3i. and the powershot is an 87 and T3 is a 56 and T3i is a 92. so the power shot is $399 and compared almost as good as a $600 DSLR
