Another good option is IPE (http://ipe.compgeom.org/). It started as a vector drawing program with sophisticated cad-like features, but it's advanced into quite a capable presentation program as well. It creates very nice PDF's with transitions and everything. It uses Latex for text markup, but you don't have to be a Latex expert to use it. It's mostly WYSIWYG. It's great for precise drawing, and IPE works well for mathematical notation.

For an example of a presentation done with IPE, see:
