My photos in the CELLAR MEMBER ART GALLERY thread were taken with my Olympus C-700 and it's newer descendant, the C-730. They're both excellent cameras, and if I were to buy a new one today, I might go with the latest of that series, the 4.0 Megapixel C-750. The thing I don't like about that C-750 is that it only takes xD type memory, which is not my favorite (my C-730 takes SmartMedia and xD). The 10x zoom kicks ass, and the picture quality on this line is very good. It is improved with the C-740 and better, because they switched to an all-glass lens system.

If I had a little higher budget, though I'd go with the very cool 5 MP Nikon Coolpix 5700. It has 8x zoom, and lots of features. My mom got one on my recommendation, and though it is complex, once you figure it out, it's pretty powerful. With a budget even bigger than that, the Canon 300D Digital Rebel, and a 28-200mm lens, would be way too damn cool. Alas, too expensive for now.
