Just wish I was half as clever as this camera...
Fuji F450 I really like this little camera 5.2mp video with sound, easy to use and comes with a charging craddle you just pop it in there when not in use then the next time it's ready to go. Price has been reduced too as a newer model just came out.

I've been happy with a Fuji aswell. I always look for high optical zoom as opposed to digital zoom.
I wanted BT's Rebel XT which he sold for 500.oo I believe.
The cheapest I could find it for new was 1100.oo. (CDN)
Thats what I want next I think...the Rebel XT.

I loved my Fuji fine pix A205 it was the 3.0 but after dropping it 3 times on the concrete it will no longer Focus...Waaaaah
Hogger, maybe the irony of this story is I know very little about cameras. As you can see, there's so many to choose from, a zillion choices. You can get one that fits in your shirt pocket or an big SLR type.
Since I'm not the Consumer Reports type, (my wife is, and will research stuff to pieces), plus when I got to Best Buy or Costco, there's a mind boggling array of choices. What I did is just find a motorcycle buddy of mine that shot a lot of pics and asked him what he had. He had a Canon Pro1 which is 8 mgpixels and about $500 in eBay. Another of my riding buddies that is a professional photographer has this as his 2nd camera instead of lugging around his huge stuff when riding. Fits in the tank bag just fine. You can even buy them hardly used, like 6 mo old, practically brand new which is what I did to save a few bucks. I can also charge the camera with the Hayabusa as I'm riding, as I bought the cigarette lighter style power cord that plugs into the power accesory outlet in the back in the bike (also powers the air compressor).
While it has a zillion bells & whistles, and buttons galore, main thing about the Pro1 is the lens. It has a 200mm zoom lens, and my style of photography is a great deal of zoom photography and shooting far away scenery. Almost everything I do is motorcycle photography and bike photos. My pics have been in Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Friction Zone and now Sportbike.
Led a ride over this last weekend, and took this over the while riding Highway 1 - Big Sur. Have that thread up in a week or two.

So you might also take into consideration the type of photography you'll be doing.
Lot the folks that will come on the pashnit rides just have small ones and just need something to take shots here and there.
This sort of pic is shooting road a good mile or two away at super-high res, then cropping that, color-correcting, etc, so the Pro1 thus far has fit me pretty well. Need the high-res just in case it gets published. People keep telling me I need to do one of those coffee table books of motorcycle roads.
If it's just going to go in a photo album, the smaller ones would probably work too.

+1 on The canon Pro1. I got mine a bit after they were released in early 2004. $1000!! but money well spent. A bit large for some people. I have a smaller older olympus that is a 2.3 mp. 4 mp is plenty for most users. You would have to go to a SLR to de better than the Pro1.
Actually I use the SD500, but the SD400 is just as awesome. Here's a shot I made tonight with the SD500... I love Canon Digicams...
Made this one last week with the SD500 and it won best headshot in the pageant she was in. (fixed... sorry about the size of the first one)
Another one taken with the SD500... It's the only digital camera I own right now.
Last one, for now.
