We have the fuji s5500. ( i think) absolutly love it. not a fan of the new fujis but haven't checked out the 10mp one yet..
if you want get one at a slightly cheaper price (any brand) I personally think ebay is the way to go. We shopped around inthe shops decided on what camera we wanted then went ebaying. We got ours brand new with a warranty off ebay for $50 less then the shops.. not much in the big scheme of thikngs but hey thats $50 more you can spend on bub
I really like the 3" LCD screen that tilts..be useful with bub and all that rolling around on the floor lol!
I want ok video
At least 9/10 megapix
At least 15 x zoom
Image stabilizer thingy
Quick shutter speed
Compact enough for the nappy bag
So...I have decided on the Sony Cyber-Shot DSCH 50...as we already have a sony which we've been happy with and it has all the above and I get $300 worth of printing thrown in...along with a case and memory for $529. So I've ordered it! So now I have a nappy bag and a camera lol! Might need to start thinking about some stuff for bub...like a cot!!!!!
Thanks heaps for all your advice it really helped!

Ellie, that sounds like a brilliant camera. Now I want one! Hmmm...would have sold you our BRAND NEW SUNBURY COT! We bought it for $589 and my DD never went in it, hated it, was a co-sleeper the whole time until recently, gone into her own toddler bed just perfectly!
Before #2 comes along...I won't be buying a cot at all! Will just wait and see how they go first, not wasting half the amount of money we did on #1 again!!
Being a photographer id recommend the canon ixus,anything above 8 megapixel and the new ones have anti shake,or IS with a face recognition and auto red eye reduction...
They are small and compact but take an amazing photo for a little handheld.a lot easier than lugging a DSLR with you,not only that you do need a little knowledge with a DSLR as you need to think iso,aperture shutters etc for a perfect shot..Most of the little ones take just as good on auto or semi auto modes
Another good one is the Finepix ones,they come above 8 megapixels too,a range of funky colors,anti shake etc etc,if you set the settings of these cameras onto say a fine mode or a larger file you can print poster size with no loss of image quality or very minimal..ie not pixelated or blocky or unclear
they retail between 200-600 dollars depending on what you want to spend
Me personally-Canon ixus,all my gear is Canon
