Nikon D800 - $3,000
If you're not heavily invested in Canon lenses, you should give serious consideration to the Nikon D800. It pretty much matches the Canon 5D Mk III feature for feature, and has a MUCH higher resolution sensor.

GoPro Hero2 - $300
We use these little GoPro Hero HD cameras all the time at GeekBeat. They're great for getting point of view shots in tight spaces (like cars).
Note: We originally recommended the GoPro Hero3, but have changed that to the Hero2 due to stability issues we've experienced with the Hero3.
