Holy crap. That looks like a great SLR camera for cheap. What's wrong with it?! :p

You should check out the FujiFilm S5000 (which I think there is a newer S5100 out now). I have a link posted to it on my site.

Personally Aaron, I don't swear by anything. I have an old HP Photosmart C200 (1.3 megapixel) and it still works!

I do like Olympus 35mm SLR cameras, and so I can agree with Jesse that they atleast make good ones.

Rule of thumb tho: If you're going to buy a serious digital (one that takes good shots) go with companies who've been in the old school film business first. They have the most experience in the camera biz and I would trust any of them over some new-tech not known outfit. Nikkon, Olympus, Minolta, Polaroid, Kodak, etc.

Just my two cents. :)

I swear by Canon. PowerShot G series is excellent; if it's too expensive, I would check out the SD/S series. Stay away from the lower end A series. Nikon also makes nice cameras. They're nice, small cameras (by that, I mean reasonably sized!) that take excellent pictures.
I've never liked Olympus ones; the UI is far too difficult to master, and they always seem to produce bad pictures - poor autofocus and poor battery life.
Be wary of the pin-hole cameras with infinite megapizel resolution (Sony, in particular). =)

Yeah, Mike... Been looking there too. The thing is I'm a little wary about buying electronics on eBay. I don't know why. Call it a paranoia. It's the one way I'm not so geeky... I'm more like a stuffy grandmother, but I just don't trust eBay's electronics...

Before buying checkout Ebay.... I don't think you'll find better prices...

I sweary by Olympus. They've got great prices, and they're always really top quality. They seem to be one of the top makers of digital cameras, so it's usually not too hard to find a good deal on one somewhere in the Sunday ads. Usually Best Buy or Circuit City or someone will have some kind of special...

Kodaks tend to be kind of cheapy and not all that great. Canons are always a good choice
