Hi DreadAlert, welcome to WPF - enjoy the forum. Most of todays cameras are capable of taking great pictures, but it is the skill of the photographer, NOT the camera that makes a shot good or great. Go to a dealer, like Jessops, where you can try out and handle the different cameras and choose one within your budget and that you feel comfortable with. Don't be seduced by the number of mega pixels - the more you have only means you can enlarge the result more and anything over 3 or 4 mega pixels will enlarge to 10" x 8" with ease. Also a larger optical zoom is usually better than a digital zoom. You as the photographer will make or break the picture not the camera.
