Hey guys I am camera shopping for my daughter and was wondering if you could reccomend a good camera. I am not looking to spend $1500 or more, our buget in around $500. We aready have several point and shoot style camera's but are looking for something a little better. I personally like the Nikon D40, do you know anything about that one? Would like some imput from you photo pro's. Thanks

Check out the New Canon G10.

My local paper recommends the Canon G9 and the g10 is the newly released upgrade.

I have a Canon g9 and it's features overwhelm me.

Both can be found for under 500.
