I just got a Fuji S1800 and I really like it so far
It's 12.2 MP, 18x zoom. It's got the automatic setting (which I use most because I don't know anything about cameras lol) plus a gazillion options. It will also take AA batteries which I love, because we're going on vacation overseas for a month and won't have a computer with USB to charge the camera if needed. I bought mine through Dell and got a pretty good deal on it
The one thing I don't like is that the LCD screen isn't really clear when you're trying to take a picture, but the picture will show up clear and crisp after you take it, so it doesn't affect the picture quality at all.
