    Yikes! 6 cameras to chose from!
    Hey there guys, I'm planning on getting a nice digital camera,
    with great macro and one which can take good pictures which
    are in motion.

    So, I have a budget which cannot exceed 420 USD..
    From my local shop here in Denmark, I have found my way
    to these 6 cameras;

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ10 Digital Camera

    Canon Powershot A650 IS

    Nikon Coolpix P5100

    Pentax Optio A40

    Samsung NV20

    Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200, DSC-W90 and DSC-W80

    I would love it if someone who knows alot about camera's
    could quickly browse through and give me brief info on
    which one would be the best.

    I will use the camera for really nice macro pictures, safari's
    sports and landscape pics (sunsets, misty valleys etc.)

    This would be much appreciated!

    And, if any of you have recently bought a digital camera, within
    my budget, which you would like to reconmend, then please to so :D

    Thanks alot in advanced guys!

    I do not know much about the cameras you are interested in, but here is my 2 cents anyway.

    I would suggest getting camera with IS (Image Stabilization) if you plan to pictures of moving objects, this will allow you to pan the camera with the moving object and not have the inevitable "camera shake" and other associated unwanted movement show up in your images. Camera shake is also very evident when taking macro shots, so it will help here as well.

    Also I applaud you for the way you asked, you let everyone know how the camera will be used. It's very hard to pick a "best" camera without knowing how it will be used, different cameras are better for different things.

    Also trying the cameras out helps too, see how comfortable it feels, how easy it is use and so on.

    Good luck!
