I'd like to buy a new digital camera. Mine is just a very simple consumer camera that I outgrew long ago. I believe it's called a kodak c300. It's 3.2 mp. I'd like a camera that has a lot more options and is more geared towards someone who wants to learn more about the technical aspects of photography. I'm not in a spot to buy it now, but that's why I'm asking for suggestions now- so I have plenty of time to research it before I make the plunge. I'd like this to be a camera I can use for 3 or 4 years. But I'm not a complete beginner either to photography- I know how to use SLR cameras, though those are obviously more expensive than I'd pay for an advanced novice/intermediate user. My camera also doesn't have audio capabilities- I think most come with this now, but I'd like to be able to tape video w/ audio- I don't care how poor it is really in that area. Any more information you might need? Sorry for the long and rambling post
EDIT: I will spend up to $550
