Mixx... go for one of the sony cams, they are really good! my camera comes with a load of different pixel settings, most of the photos above were taken with the 5megapixel choice on my camera, and they have come out nice... sonys are excellent cameras, id definatley reccomend them to you!
David... nope, none of us are scared of bugs... my sisters friends dont like the locusts much, so its always fun to watch them scream when one of the escapees hops out from a hole somewhere... (ive nearly always got about 5 locusts hopping around my room... their really fast, and can hop along way, so its pretty hard to catch them...)
