I am looking for a new digital camera. I need a good zoom and quick snap. Which one is best. I don't print

photos.

If money is no object, get a Nikon D80 and the Nikon 18-200 mm VR lens. The "snap" is instantaneous.

If you are only going to put these photos on the computer or the internet, you don't need the D80, so just get the D50 instead.

If your budget permits, check out Nikon D50 or even Nikon D80.

I agree with both, but if budget is a factor, try the Fuji S (Fuji S 5100) series cameras. They are more of a point and shoot, with some manual and advanced options.
