Fuji S7000

Well, this is my camera...which I just love! I think it was $600...and takes awesome photos. The quality is great but I am still not fond of the delay in the press of the release and the actual shot. That is the problem I have found with most digis...so test them out yourself before you buy. It is hard to get the doggy shots when the camera won't cooperate I went with this camera because of the MP's. My SLR is a Nikon, which is my fav camera brand...but the Nikon digi's were out of my range at the time of purchase so I'm not too sure about them. Good luck with your decision!
