Im in search of a good(not too expensive) digital camera that I can do photoshoots with. I know they keep going up in Pixels, but when will it stop? Can anyone recommend one?
Best Digital Picture Camera?

www.steves-digicams.com has sample pictures from every camera they've reviewed.
i got a used sony F717 5.0 MP for $500 ( originally $850)
idk if that is out of your range but it is a great camera.
check this site it's the best for reviews.

A full size picture from even a 3.2mp camera would be too large to post here. The quality of the picture rests more with the optics than it does the mps. The Cannon A-series have been popular for this reason. They are a great package for the price. But if you're looking for more than a point-and-shoot camera you may want to look at cameras with larger optics...but of course they will be more expensive.
Here is a sample of pictures taken with my A70...

(My sig was also taken with the A70 but I doctored it in PS)

First off, how much do you want to spend?
If you want the ability to upgrade with lenses and things once you get better at photography, I would suggest that you go with a SLR.
Also if you want to be able to do "photshoots" with it I am assuming you would like professional quality pictures. With digital SLR's, you can pick your focus point, ISO settings, shutter speeds, etc... all while being able to post edit your photos with tools like Photoshop.
A really nice option (if you have about 700 to spend) is the Canon digital rebel (300D). The price has gone down on it quite a bit since the new Digital Rebel XT came out (350D). It takes phenomonal pictures and is an amazing bang for the buck performance camera!

Here is a link to a few shots I took the other night with the Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D). Keep in mind that these are 8.2 Megapixels, but you will get the idea of what an SLR is capable of.

DO NOT GET KODAK... IT SUCKS BALLS.
i bought one last august, and the thing doesnt take night pics at all, and the day pics are bad unless you are viewing them on its little screen. As soon as you import to your computer, they look like ass.
I recently just bought the Sony F7 5.2 MP. its the small profile camera with a 3.5 in. lcd screen. That this rocks on as far as point and shoot is concerned.

Exactly
Here is another shot I took last week or so experimenting with shutter speeds. It is a shot of moving water...the focal point was in the center of the bottom of the picture...there you can see water standing still

Thank You guys, it seems cannon has gotten the most votes. I'll be checking them out this weekend. Someone said the pixels dont matter as much as quality, what should I be looking for instead of pixels? The camera will be mostly used to post pics on the net

Optical zoom. The Olympus C-725 has 8x optical zoom and it is really nice to have. Ignore the digital zoom.
The other things would be whether there is exposure settings for the more advanced user (or as you get more experienced with photography).
Also look into the video clip recording feature. Although the cheapest digital video camcorder will deliver much better videos, it is still nice to have that feature.
