Cool! If you don't need an SLR, then check out the Canon S2 IS - its got a 12x optical zoom with pretty decent stabilization .. 5 mega pixels etc. Good for not-very-serious photography! Also, the 12x is good for [s:82203b0654]stalking[/s:82203b0654] birdwatching.
Also, even if Doors is happy with his camera, I suggest sticking to a company that makes cameras, not music systems

Edit: Spiky, boo!
