What kind of camera did you use? I'm thinking about up-grading from my current POS digi-cam.

5. my parents just bought a fuji with a great feature-

it has the regular lcd screen, but it also has an eyepiece that has thru-the-lens viewfinding. most digital cameras seem to have the screen, and then an eyepiece that's basically just a hole thru the camera body. I was teaching my mother to use the camera, and i told her to get used to using the viewfinder rather than the lcd screen- when you're outside during the day, those screens are useless.
we have a nikon coolpix 950 that's getting a little long in the tooth, and may upgrade soon as well(it's only 2.1 megapixels)- although I really like the swivel body feature, I doubt that we'll go the same route next time.
One thing I really hate are the really small cameras that have buttons/controls that are so small or close together that they're hard to use.
I think our next purchase might be a digital body that we can use our SLR lenses with- Canon has a digital Rebel that seems pretty nice.
