Featured Categories
Featured Categories is an excellent module which really should be part of Joomla core. It supports automatic thumbnail resizing, linking thumbnails to the full articles and it even checks the Images and Links fields for images - which means you can upload an image to the Intro Image Field without having to bother resizing it to the exact dimensions desired, as Featured Categories resizes them for you. No need to manually craft category pages by manually creating intro texts, placing images and Read More links -- it's all done automatically and it's highly configurable.

Filtered News
There are some must-have extensions that perfectly expand Joomla's basic functionality - this is certainly one of them. I think lots of Joomla users will benefit from this: it's not only a versatile Latest News replacement, but also a perfect navigational aid for every category or section. Very important from a usability point of view: it's is possible to make the current article in the Filtered News list not-clickable or to hide it. Lots of other options: you can filter by category, by section, add pictures or article intro text. To put it in one word: wow!
