I used to have a Sony DSC-P10 5mp. Had it for a year and it served me very well but it has limited capabilities being a point and shoot typ camera. I just recently upgraded to an SLR...the new Sony DSC-F828!!
Very very nice camera!! But a little on the pricey side..just over $1200CAD...cheapest SLR however. Not sure of your budget but there are some very nice cameras out there for a lot less. You just have to do some research like i did. My suggestion would be the new soon to be released Sony DSC-H1...INCREDIBLE features for $500US...i just went to sonystyle.com...omg looks amazing!!!

Re: digi cam

I have the same camera as GTMike400 which is what I was using until now, I just go a new Fujifilm E510 which is awesome.
With the new one, I can focus on objects less than 1/2" from the lens and get high res images!

Remember, digicams are like anything else, you get what you pay for.

Re: digi cam

I just bought a Sony DSC-P73, and I haven't messed with it much, but so far it seems OK. I just need practice with it.

I figure at the very least it will be good for a starter.

it is a very good camera to take pic of 1/24 models...

Re: digi cam

I got my Sony for $169 after rebate at Best Buy (BTW: Remind me to send that in, it's $50). The only thing I can see needing to buy is a bigger memory stick and a case. It even comes with batteries and a charger.

Re: digi cam

all my picture are taken with an old Nikon Coolpix 950. Those can be found for quite cheap now. (was worth more than 1000$)

I also have a Nikon D70 DSL.

I'm sold to nikon. I also like Canon (A75 A85 A95 are very good choice)

an used Nikon Coolpix 950 990 or 995 would be your best bet.

It's also very good for everyday use. Take a look at this picture I took last week-end (there is lot more on my gallery)
