If you are looking for a new camera that takes awesome pictures, and it still very affordable. Look at the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. We payed around $350 for ours, and it takes pictures like the high dollar cameras, and they turn out awesome.
Drop me a message if you would like to see some pictures I have taken with ours.
