Nice pictures, I like playing with a camera also. I have a Fuji FinePix 2600 Zoom, with 2.0 mega pixels. It wasn't that expensive, a few hundred dollars, but it takes good pictures as far as I'm concerned. Camera's are like any electronic device, When you buy the latest & greatest by the time you get home another product is out that is suppose to be even bigger & better. I have a close friend that is a professional photographer that has done work for Nevada Magazine & others, & he always told me the real difference come when you do your own developing.
