I am also looking to get a digital camara. I don't want a top end model but I would rather spend a few hundred (maybe upto 500) on a decent camara that will last me for some time. I want it for holiday pics, family party type things (so some flash) and Live role play (where my target might be across the other side of a field or 1 meter in front of me) I would prefer something fairly chunky (i.e. with a thick grip on the right hand side at least) As I'll often have a laptop around, I can probably live without a massive amount of storage but decent battery life is a must.
any suggestions?
(BTW I'm not dead set on spending all the way upto the limit but its just to give you an idea - If someone can come back and say model X costing £150 will do everything you want then I'll be just as happy.)

I'm still using a Canon EOS 300D and it takes great photos.
I've got the kit lens (18-55mm) and a telephoto lens (75-300mm).
My girlfriend uses it to take photos of us airsofting, so it should be fine for LRP.
Take a look at some of her work:

She's by no means an expert at the camera's settings, so some of the photos may not be as perfect as they could be, but she does have a nack of taking some good ones.
Get yourself a subscription to Digital Photo magazine too, it's excellent for useful techniques to take photos, and touch ups in photoshop afterwards.
