If you're looking for a digital camera that is a little more than the standard point and click, then take a look at the Panasonic DMC-FZ18. It comes with 8-megapixel camera with 18X optical zoom and a handy little thing called Intelligent Auto Mode, that automatically adjusts the focus on the camera.
I have the 6-megapixel camera with 12X optical zoom version, and I absolutely love it. Great shutter speed and the lens is top notch. This will be out in September in silver or black for $399, very reasonable for everything that you get.
