Digital Camera for Beginners

Hi, i am looking for a Digital Camera.

i have no experience at all. I just have a Camcorder that can take digital picture. but in very low quality like 0.3MP

i am looking for one that has "reasonable" MP, cheap and good looking and easy to use.

i don't know how much MP should I be looking for...

voice recording is something extra.

thanks
 
A Canon A100 or A200 will be fine. I have a A100, and it takes VERY good photos for a 1.2 MP camera, no optical zoom, but takes excellent photos, with excellent colour control and fantastic macro shots down to 5 cm. Battery life is good and it contains a high quality canon lens. It has a fair amount of manual control too, if the user wishes.

The A200 is a 2MP camera, but not worth the extra money IMO. To get a general idea of the the quality, see the Canon A200 review on Steves Digicams site.

Cheers
 
I have owned many digicams 1MP to 5MP and I would stay away from Fujis for a beginners it is not till you spend $500+ do their images start to look real good (Also the LCDs are dim on many). Also they use to overrate their MP times two by interpolation. Kodaks are junk (their lens are the joke). Anyways I would start with at least 2MP but if you can 3.3MP are really worth the extra dough. I reccomend Olympus, Canon, or Nikon for best quality/featues/lens for the buck.
