With the help that you all provided, as well as alot of reading and studying on my part at other websites...I have chosen and have purchased the Olympus C-4000. It is a 4 Megapixel. I also grabbed a 128MB card, carrying case, card reader, and Monster brand rechargeable batteries. The camera itself was $450 at Circuit City. Best Buy didn't even have it in stock yet. This price was equal to the Olympus 8x Optical zoom, 3Mpixel. I didn't need all that zooming.
I am quite pleased with it, but learning how to use it is freaking tough!
