Kodak DX7590. (D750 is almost as good). The 7590 is 5.0 MP, has 10x optical and 3x digital zoom, tons of settings. Ability to shoot using shutter, exposure, apperture settings, as well as pre-programmed settings. Takes video up to 640 x 320. Amazing camera for the price. With the easy share dock, the 7590 is around $379, I think the 750 can be found at WalMart for around $300. Better lens on the 7590 though. Here's a sample I took at an airshow last summer:
I'll change the pic to a link since it's so damn huge!
