I've got the Kodak Eazyshare Z730. 5mp. It works but you gotta consider WHAT you want the camera for. I'd love one of those dope $1000 Nikons w/ changeable lenses cuz I do more than just shoot figures. If you just want to shoot figures and shoot-n-point outside, a cheaper camera like mine and Fisher's work. (I can't speak for Outrider and Prudential)

But if you want to really work the art of fotography, you gotta go big and expensive and dope and and and...
