Got a Kodak Easyshare DX4530 and have used it for well over 10,000 pictures - many of them are fantastic too thats just for quicksnapping tho. For something a bit fancy with a few features, I bought a Megexon C450 or whatever the model is, cost me 80 quid second hand and is a cheepy digital SLR style camera - takes some nice pictures and has a lot of settings.

Currently saving up for a Canon EOS400d - they are going for about £500 with a lens and delivery etc etc and is a fantatsic entry level Professional Digital SLR
