I'm looking for a new camera and I need some help. OK...this is what I'm looking for. Around $500-$600. Preferbly non slr (too much money for lenses). So i'd like to have around 12X zoom, no less than 6 MP. Any brand is fine...So if you guys would help me out, that would be great.

You are welcome. Remember to check Reseller Ratings before buying online. Lot's of potential scams places out there and this place is one of the sites that can help weed some of them out.

These links are probably in a majority of the DPCers bookmarks.
