Considering that everyone here (including me) seems to think the camera we own is the best one for you, you should probably get an unbiased opinion (or two). Try these excellent websites ...
DPReview and Imaging Resource

Off course , both links will initially take you to a review of my camera (Kodak DX3900), but you can navigate around and find out about other cameras/accessories as well.

Also check out circuitcity.com and epinions.com (for the reviews only), although you sometimes get great deals (low APR, special freebies etc) at CC or BB (Best Buy)!
