So I'm just getting into photography and I'm wondering what kind of camera to get. I'm willing to spend a decent amount, but nothing too crazy. I'm particularly interested in nature photography and thus a camera that would be good for the outdoors. Any feedback would be most appreciated.
That was longer than a heartbeat...
How much do you want to spend?
Do you want to photograph things close up, far away or both?
Will you be printing pictures at a large size?
$500 is probably my total upper limit. I'd like something more in the $300 range if possible. I'd like to take photos from both close up and far away. And I don't really plan on printing any pictures, so that's not a big concern. I'm just looking for something decent, nothing too fancy.

This might be just what you need:

It's a fairly simple Panasonic with decent size images, a massive zoom and all for $270. That's a good camera for the money.
Awesome, this camera looks great. Thanks a lot.
