For the average user, anything over 2.0 megapixels if fine. I'm perfectly happy with my Olympus D-490. And like Riddler said, make sure you get one with good optical zoom, not digital. At least 3X.

I have the Canon S45
great cam does everything and more, it will take me a year to fully grasp the possibilites.
however noisy when opening,

If i where to buy a new cam i would get a smaller one, and one which has normal batteries which is very useful when in iscolated regions.

Good point. That's something else you should look for when buying a new camera. Mine can use either standard AA (which wear out fast), or rechargable Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

Try dpreview. Fantastic sight for in-depth reviews of digital cameras with lots of forums for the different camera brands. I brought my Canon S40 after reading user feedback in the forum last year and have been really happy with it. Its nice and solid ( good for stuffing into pockets) with lots of options and, most importantly, takes great pics. The latest model is the S50 with a 5 million pixel ccd (and I've seen it for sale at £400&#33

, though I'm now rather tempted by the up and coming model from Leica...

bloody lovely!
