My anwser to your question colin056 is how much do u want to spend? I have a nice Fuji S602 zoom, and it only cost around $500 with shipping and everything. It is a 6 megapixel camara. It is very light weight and takes wonderful photos. If that is a little high for you try out the Canon S200, SD100, or S400. They are 2, 3.2, and 4 megapixel respectivly. Price for the S200 is less than than $200 I believe, and go up to around $400.
Which camara you buy just depends on what you are going to shot with it.
