I say get a canon powershot s30 or s40.... That's what I learned the basics on, and now I got a canon EOS-300D. If your just starting, you won't outgrow the powershot before a little while, because it still got manual settings on it, and delivers some really good quality images.

One plae you may want to look it is www.dpreview.com

There is another thread on this exact subject with some good suggestions - just scroll down. I was using an Olympus C-730 Ultrazoom and it worked pretty well for wakeboarding pics. As with most low-end digital cameras you have to get used to the shutter lag.

im pretty esperienced with shutter lag cuz my current camer has bad lag. the other topic is on better cameras so i figured i could start a new topic on the 3-4 MP cameras. i was looking into a Kodak Dx6340 and was wondering if anyone on here new anything about this camera or quality of lenses etc. and how it was at taking pics and stuff.
