Suggest you repost in the Photography forum below, and...

What do you want to take pictures of?

Are you fussed about size/weight?

Budget?

Sony cybershots, Nikons, Fuji S series. The list is endless, depends on your budget really.

This was taken on a 3 megapixel Cybershot.

Look at optical zoom not digital cos you can do that on the computer. Also modern cams are about 7 - 8 mp not 3, 3 was the tops 3 years ago!!

THE LUMICRON ONE WAS A SPECIAL OFFER CAMERA AND NOT ONE THEY STOCK ALL THE TIME SO IT MAY NOT BE ON THE SITE.
AS FOR THE ONE YOUVE SEEN THERE ITS UP TO YOU ,IT DOESNT SOUND TO BAD BUT AGAIN OPTICAL ZOOM IS BETTER THAN DIGITAL AND THE LUMICRON HAS BOTH.THE LUMICRON ALSO HAS-
VIDEO WITH SOUND
2"COLOUR SCREEN
AUTO FOCUS
SELF TIMER
LI-ION BATTERY (RECHARGEABLE)
VIDEO OUTPUT
PLUS USB/AV CABLE TO CONNECT TO COMPUTER OR TV.
