Hello everyone. Basically I've always loved Photography. I've never really got into it very big. I've wanted to. and I have hundreds of pictures I've taken.
Anyways. If no one saw me say this before. I'll say it again.
I got the Kodak M1033HD 10MP Digital Camera that Retails around $200.00 USD give or take for a great closeout deal of $74.99 back about 8 months ago or so. and I HATE IT. lol. it was a great deal and my old Canon got broke. I just wanted a camera, it was the best priced 10MP camera and I was in need. (and poor.)

Thats what I have now. I'm going to be selling it here sometime soon for probably around $125.00 or so locally. Maybe more if I can. I also have earned some extra cash lately and have $230 in paypal account from it.
Basically I'll stop rambling and ask my question. I will have something in the $350 and maybe pushing it for $400 MAX for my funds available and thats a max. I'm hoping not to exeed $400 for starters.
So basically I'm a very new Photographer.. If I can even call myself that. (I shouldn't). I don't want anything that is like $999 and some extreme high tech camera. I'm just a beginner and I want something that will amaze me with some great shots that this STUPID little M1033 can't do.
I've been looking at a few things. Let me know what you all think.
Nikon D40 w18-55mm @ $359.99 (or the D60 if I save more)

Maybe the Nikon CoolPix P80 @ $299.99

(I can't add a Lens later to this though can I.?)
Sony CyberShot DSC-H10B or better the H50 but I'm liking the price and look of the H10B.
What do you guys think about SLR-Like Camera's like some of these Sony's, or the Lumix FZ28,30,50 or even something that I've heard good things about like a Canon SX10
I know this has a lot of people with $1000 camera's and more and you guys probably don't like these SLR-Like Camera's. But I'm not an Extremist yet. So I'm just hoping to get some good advise on a overall good Price/performance Camera for the Beginner.
Thanks in Advanced.
