I take some decent shots using Gils Nikon 8800. Only thing I wish is that I could get good telephoto on it.
I have the Nikon Coolpix 4500, the one that swivels. Nothing I've found beats that for macro, but to change settings is a real pain in the rear with it.
The best camera in the world won't help you take better shots if you don't first learn about composing a shot.
