Hey there - thanks for joining us!

I think $300-$400 is the sweet spot for compact digital cameras right now. It should be no problem for you to get a good camera. Tripod mount is a given and I think 7-megapixel sensors are the best. More is too much and the 5 and 6-megapixel sensors weren't that great, in my opinion.

You want a lot of lens? If so, you should be looking at super zoom digis from Canon, Sony, and Panasonic. Here's a page that compares a few of the current super zoom digitals:

Super Zoom Specs Comparison >>

That page is by no means an exhaustive list. But it will give you an idea of specs and prices. Here's a link to a tons of super zoom review pages: http://www.photographyreview.com/sf-..._least_8x_zoom

That should get you started. Take a look at that stuff and then get back to us with your next batch of questions
