My last camera was great! It was a Nikon 8700. Before that I had an Olympus Camedia C-5000Z, which was also a great camera.

I sold the Olympus a while back, and the Nikon this morning. lol

The olympus was a 5 megapixel camera, and I took great shots with them. I wanted a little more advanced camera but the D-SLR was slightly out of my price range at the time, then I sold the 8700. I have the D50 now. Would I buy them over again, knowing what I know now? Yeah, they are all great cameras in their own way. The Olympus is cheap on ebay, and well worth it.

You need to decide how much you want to spend and what exactly you will be using the camera for. One cam that I will recommend is the Canon S2IS. Great camera sells for around $400.

You could go this way, Nikon Coolpix 5600. It is a 5.1 mp so it will give you some nice results for just casual shooting.

If you not going to do crazy pictures just get you a Sony CyberShot..
I got a 4.1 and is good shit is like 130 bucks.

I use to have Minolta z1 and that was good also.. but it got stolen when they broke into my old place.
