@ Richie_Ni - Steve's Digicams is a good site to check out cameras. I'm not interested in DSLRs (yet), so I'm probably not a good person to ask about 'real' cameras. But if you're interested in Fuji prosumer cameras (like the S9500), then there's a good Fuji forum here.
I was using Olympus Camera, but now we uses Nokia Moblie phone for taking photos and making videos. Jay
I have a Panasonic dmc-fz3 with 12x optical zoom. I love it. The zoom is great for all types of locations. Only complaint is its thickness which it needs because of the lens. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicfz3/
Canon EOS is cool, and Konica Minolta A1 (all 8 Megapixels) - can give to you great results - saw the real photos made by these models - very expensive - about $1K
