Sultan.. I like the Canon G2. Nice all around camera. Small but not too small for large hands. Good software that comes with, both the Canon software and Photoshop are included with the camera. Easy connection to the computer, very logical. Great resolution. I believe I saw it advertised for around $550 lately, which is a drop of about $200.

New top end consumer (prosumer) models are usually introduced at price points around $1000. For your price range, you can either buy a mid range model, or one of the slightly aging upper end cameras. Personally, I'd recommend the latter approach. The ones I'd consider at this point would be the Sony 707, Canon G2, and Nikon 5000. I hope you're factoring in the cost of accessories, which can easily double your cost. In my case, since I needed a more powerful computer, a higher res monitor, and software for my digital darkroom, not to mention a good photo-printer, the final tally came to 5X the cost of the camera. uf
