need help picking out camera

[ryan]

Im wanting to purchase a camera that will be good for taking pics of my tank (close up pics included), and for taking on vacations, camping ect. I want it to be a digital camera, and not just a point and shoot. I would like it to be easy to operate, but to have the manual, or advanced options incase I enjoy it and start to get into photography a bit. One problem is my price range. I would probably spend 400 max, but 300 would be perferable. I was thinking about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1. Is this a good camera for what I want?

circuitcity.com has this, which i am seriously thinking about getting. Fujifilm FinePix S3000 Digital Camera
FUJ FINEPIXS3000 • 3.2-megapixel
• 6x optical zoom • 1.8" LCD screen
• Manual modes
and the price is soo right... a little over 200. I was skeptical at first but i read several reviews on it and the compaoints are minimul
