What's an amazing Digital Camera I can get?

I've recently become interested in photography so I'd really like an SLR or just something that takes really amazing digital pictures. Also, I don't want to spend over $500 if that's possible.

$500 is not quite going to get you into an amazing DSLR. Or even an entry level one. Consider a Canon Powershot S3 IS which would come in at around $500 if you get a good sized memory card.

Here you go. Camera, great memory card, batteries and charger, and a 5 year warranty for $497.95.

If you want more pixels, get the Canon Powershot A640. Here's the same deal (more or less) for that camera:

I'd buy either one for my own use. The S3 IS has a monster zoom, if you are into that sort of thing. My adult daughter has an S2 IS and loves it. My adult son has an A620 and loves it. The A640 is a direct descendant of the A620.

Like the first poster said, $500 isn't enough money for a digital SLR. Instead, I'd recommend a good compact digital camera. I have the Fujifilm Finepix F10 because of its low light performance. I've been very happy with it, but it's been discontinued. It's sequel, the F30 is supposed to be even better. It's less then $400, so you can spend that extra $100 on a 2GB xD memory card. It's 6 megapixel and adjustable up to 3200 ISO.

Try this one. You can probably find it for under $500 if you google it and check Froogle.
