Digital Camera recommendations ...

It was the FujiFilm cameras I was defending earlier.  Their pictures are
incredible!  And you hit the nail on the head: It ain't the Megapixels
that count.  It's them darned CCDs.  Always has been.  That's why early
Canon's and the like couldn't seem to take a decent picture to save
their digital lives.  My Mustek MDC800 sucks pretty bad too.  But it was
free so I'm not complaining (actually it cost me a door.  Long story.)
