I have a Fuji Finepix s7000. A great camera which as a bridging camera (halfway between full SLR and highend point and shoot) comes with pretty much all the features you'd find on an SLR (the reason I bought it was I wanted to learn photography properly but couldn't afford a digital SLR). The Macro & super macro can't be surpassed and at 6/12 megapics you can crop to your hearts delight - or print bloody great images!.
It's well worth the money.
