    Kodak EasyShare C743! The best camera I’ve ever had! It can take a picture of a moving ceiling fan and make it look like it’s not moving! AWESOME CAMERA!

    So many variables. A good start is a pont and shoot Panasonic Lumix with image stabilization and a good lens, for around a couple hundred $. After that the sky’s the limit according to your budget and desire to take better photographs with more control over the process.

    Hi!

    I’m a digital photographer, and honestly my best work has been done with a $200 camera (which you can now get on eBay new for a lot cheaper - and in different colors!). I absolutely love it, and wouldn’t trade it for a more sophisticated one. My photography is published too!
    Anyway, I have a Casio Exilim EX-S880

    It’s an 8.1 megapixel with a large number of pre-programmed scene settings (Best Shot Modes).
    Check out some reviews if you’d like:……

    Good luck! Hope I could be of some help. (:

    If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

    It just came out on November 4, 2008.

    It’s an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel DSLR camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HDTV quality video [Quicktime]; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] “Leica” lense for nature photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a “burst speed” of 13 fps; and sells new for $270 at amazon.com.

    Here’s an actual handheld picture of the moon:

    Good luck!
