Get either the DSCP8 or P10.:thumbup:

Instead of rechargable NiMH batteries its Lithium Ion.:thumbup:

I have a DSC-S85. I love Sony digicams. The only beef I have with it is they take a long time to turn on and sometimes its hard to take an action shot cuz they are a big slow.

my friend has this one and it's great

Canon PowerShot S400


you can't change the lense on any thing that was suggested thus far except the Canon Digital Rebel but that's $900 without a lens.

but i think you meant a threaded lens so you can screw on a filter

the sony dsc one would be nice but its 699!! WOW

i just glanced at the s400 before you said that and it looks sweet not to big, 4.0 mp and its 449 sounds goood... i want a camera that has great detal, my friend showed me one, i forget which one but he set the lens directly ontop of my watch, and it took a clear ass picture of the face and it was touching it, i was shocked at how great the picture came out, no fuss or bad pixels effects... I want something that can do the same thing.
