Just got Mr Rudds cheque, so looking around $300 to $500. Thanks for reply.Depends, how much do you want to sepnd etc etc, do you want to slam it in your pocket or have to have a backpack for it? things like this will get you a more specific type of response, i'll make a couple of suggestions both ways, if you want one you can slip in your pocket, i'm going to strngly suggest getting a shock proof type camera such as the olympus ones, and i believe that a few other companies are now making similarly designed ones, if your looking at something a bit more pricey and something that you'll need a specific bag for or a backpack for look at maybe a entry level nikon or canon, the sony DSLRs are the cheapest priced ones, i've never used one nor seen a shot form one, so i have no real info about them, canon 1000Ds seem to go alright as an entry level, or if you have a tad mroe money you can go to say a 450D or 500D, you also need to ask yourself if you want video or not (some do, some don't) the video DSLRs cost a bit more cams such as the 500D and D90, give us a tad more info and you'll be cooking with good answers i'd assume.

It's all been done and said in there, take some time and read, you may learn a thing or two.
Thanks Alpha. I did look at that thread and there is far too much dross. Some of the cameras mentioned here already look good. What about those multiple shots you see in some pictures. Do you need a special camera for those?Rendog, you can't expect him to scroll through 1000 + pages.
And I don't recall anything being mentioned about sub $500 P&S cameras.
try http://www.dpreview.com/ for the best comparisons within your price range. Then go check them out for yourself.
Look for a quality name lense in the camer. i.e Carl Ziess etc.
That's it! They are so cool. Can you do it with other cameras or is it an Olympus thing?Like this? Nope, done on the olympus again. You j ust need a program like photoshop to marry all the images together.
Nah its an every camera thing, most caeras have a sports mode, or continuous shooting or something similar, even teh super base cameras have teh ability to take the shots, you just need the software to finish the job, in saying that you can put all teh photos together in paint, its just way harder than in photoshop.That's it!
