I am also a newbie, this is my first post on this forum. I purchased a Panasonic FZ20, a very good camera for the price. Not a DSLR, but pretty good. The lense is rather special, being a Leica. Five megapixels, twelve times zoom, macro down to one cm from the lense, certainly worth a look.
It's one of the fastest shutter releases out there (in it's class), and the burst mode has a setting which will keep going til the memory card is full. I think it does three or four frames per sec for the first burst in some modes.
