Hey Santa brought me the Fuji FinePix 4800 Zoom. After some research I found that these Fuji's get good reviews. Well this Camera is absolutly amazing. Small light, nice LCD, nice zoom, awesome pictures past 1600x1200. It will take nice long videos... comes w/ a 16mb card. Battery last's for a couple hours- its recharable. It will also act as a Webcam I am told. The software is awesome.. uses a USB connection and its very "smart". Works well w/ XP Pro and ME (The two machines I have it setup on at home) Anyway, I'm not sure of the exact price range you want.. but look around for this one if the specs sound like something your interested in...
