I will check out the fujifilm s9000 though, looks interesting, if it has decent macro capability.

Shadowboy, thanks for the fujifilm S9000 tip, it definately warrants a closer look at, I didn't know this class of camer existed.
This might be a good option for me, and if I desire SLR down the road I could upgrade, but this would be a good way to get more into photography for now.

reef geek if you like the look of the s9000 look at the sony dscr1, this would be my first choice buts its more than i can afford, only thing about it it doesnt have 10x optical zoom, the canon s3 is also nice

It will be interesting to see how their first DSLR performs.
Pretty cool specs with 10 megapixel, built-in anti-shake, anti-dust vibration. Only thing is it was developed so quickly, just one year after acquiring konika minolta. Comparison review of Sony A100, Nikon D70s, and Canon RebelXT here: http://www.digitalreview.ca/cams/A100vsD70svsXT.shtml

don't go with the fuji s9000, or the sony. Get a real DSLR. The fuji's "super ccd" is not really that super, and the "SLR" sony has a HORRIBLY small CCD.
And if you want to do macro photography, you can look into getting an extension tube. Much cheaper than a macro lense, and great to start off with. Maybe $100 canadian, compared to a good $1000 macro capable lense. Remember when buying your camera, too. It's only as good as the lense. For every $500 you spend on your camera, spend $250 on your lense. May sound expensive, but remember. That lense will still be worth $500 five years from now, while your camera won't  And yeah, I agree: go solid state rather than a microdrive. Microdrives are slow and have huge fail ratios. here's a good site. http://www.dpreview.com

Thanks Kwirky, I have decided to get an actual DSLR, I am now torn between the D70s, and waiting for the Sony Alpha, because the Sony has anti-shake build into the camera body, and although it isn't a huge deal, the bump from 6 to 10 megapixel would be nice. And the anti-dusty technology in it will be cool.
