I agree with folk's responses so far. And, Murphy's is a good place to compare, if unscientifically.
One thing I have found on my Nikon is that you have to use the screen. How I miss SLR viewfinder, even if a screen. Something about growing up in photography with a 35MM camera and through the lens focus and framing. I had/have an old Kodak digital that had BOTH and I rarely if ever used the LCD on the back of the camera. My SSU has it now and she likes that. Something to look at and think about when you start comparing. There is NOTHING like fondling a product before purchasing. Especially cameras and such. Doesn't mean you have to purchase it at the place du fondle as you can always go online and get it. But, there is the have it here and now thing about purchasing locally. My Nikon does a great job. I shoot tonnes of photos with it at events and I am very happy. Not a point and shoot but not a big DSLR either. A couple of things to remember. Make sure it doesn't take a brand specific memory card. Make sure you can put as big a card in it as you want. Ask if you can put your memory card in it and shoot some photos to see what they are like at home. Shoot the box first so you know what took the photos. I have done that a couple times.
