Any of their cameras are great.

They are just designed the best and will work well with your computer.

If you are going for a camera with a zoom try the Fugifilm FinePix S5200. It is 5.1 mega pixels and a 57x total zoom. 10x optical and 5.7x digital. It uses the xd memory card. Great camera. Has the PictBridge feature and ISo 64/100/200/400/800/1600.

It is PENTAX.
