I just bought the [url=http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/Products.jsp?nav=0&parent=PRODUCT_CATEGORY_499950& product=43860768:a864c]FujiFilm FinePix 3800 Digital Camera.[/url:a864c] I'm very happy with it. It takes a great looking picture and is LOADED with features:

* 3.2 effective megepixels
* USB connection to PC
* 6x optical zoom
* 3x digital zoom
* LCD screen + viewfinder
* voice capture for audio captions with still images
* movie recording (about 10 minutes with 128MB memory chip)
* built-in tripod mount
* can utilize optional telephoto and wide lenses
* can be used as a webcam

Here are some points to think about when deciding on what camera to buy:

Megapixels
The higher the megapixels, the greater the resolution. The one I bought has 3.2 effective megapixels resulting in an image 2048 x 1536. It depends on what you'll be using it for. For titties I recommend the most detail possible. biggrin:

Zoom
Optical zoom is always better than digital zoom. Mine has a 6x optical zoom and a 3x digital zoom and will tell you when it switches from optical to digital. At max zoom (optical + digital) you get 18x zoom.

Features
What features do you need? Built-in tripod mount? Viewfinder or LCD screen or both? What type of memory? What type of batteries? Ability to record movies and/or voice captions with still images?

Good luck and have fun. I always say spend the money on what you really want and be happy, rather than pinch pennies and wish you had something else.
