Well it all depends on how much you can spend….
Recently, i bought a Canon 350D for £640 which included lenses and memory cards etc.
The quality is just stunning out of it! Before i got that, i had a Fuji S5000 which is pretty tacky to what i have no (Plus it always used to have a lot of grain and noise in the shots)
There are plenty of other cameras out there if you are not ready to step upto the DSLR region, shop around and see what takes your fancy
