dude... just saw this post, and i was seriously dreading reading all the comments and advice given here.
i'm assuming you've been taking crappy cell phone camera pictures (haven't seen your crappy photos).
about 8 years ago, you could buy a camera for around $800 and it would do just a little bit more than our camera phones do today.
now you're gonna read comments from douchebags who will suggest that you buy the Maserati of digital cameras, and tell you that you're wasting your money if you don't got for the $1200 camera, and a couple $300 lenses and a $100 tripod. but i figure you just want to take pictures... not be the next Ansel Adams.
do some shopping around. look on Amazon.com, look on Costco.com, look at specific camera makers' websites... compare prices.
you can do very well with a camera in the $150-$250 out-the-door range. look for a camera in the 8MP-14MP range that also shoots 720p video.
