That's a waste of money... Buy it based on your needs... Overspending on features you don't need or can't comprehend will just discourage you from wanting to use the camera at all.

I say buy an ultra-small camera for taking shots where-ever you go. Then buy a dSLR for shots you want to test out different techniques on...
Canon S400 is a good mini camera.
The Digital Rebel or the DS10 are good entry level dSLR cameras. _________________ "...but it was my integrity that was important. Is that so selfish?

I agree if you want a point and shoot go with the Canon Powershot S410 (same as S400 but with a few changes - the S400 is actually discontinued) or the Canon Powershot S500.
S410=4 Megapixel
S500=5 Megapixel
For a digital SLR (where you can change lenses, etc... - i.e. for the more advanced photographer) I'd recommend to go with Nikon's D70 (get the Kit that comes with a lense it's worth the extra money ~$1300 for the Kit).
While the Nikon D70 is definitely not cheap it was awarded the Best Consumer Digital SLR Camera by TIPA.

The DSLRs are "expensive" but well worth the extra money in my opinion.

Dang it, Greg! We differ again...
Canon is the only way to go SLR or D-SLR... The D-SLR to have is the 20D... Or if your pockets are REALLY deep, the 1Ds Mark II...

No Way!!! Nikon makes way better lenses which is the crux of a good "high-end" SLR camera. The D2H and D70 are both awesome and their D2X is going to kick Canon's butt!!
I do however like Canon's small and sleek S400 and S500 series for the low-end consumer point and shoot.
I own an S400 and a D70.

Canon's lenses are just as good, if not better... I think they were the first to introduce aspherical lenses in the photography market, which is considered to be the best design optically....
Guh. Now I can't talk politics or photography with you, else there'll be an argument...
