I want a camera that takes GREAT quality pictures, and has really good zoom. NOT digital zoom...4x zoom is well, i'd get it, but it wouldnt be my first choice. I want a GREAT zooming camera. and I dont want a bulky camera, it needs to be a decent size.
every camera i've had makes my pictuers grainy or blurry etc. so it needs to be great quality
list some thank you

the camera i have now is REALLY old too, its a discontinued model, and its big and bulky, and it just sucks. the screen that you preview your pictures, turns like..orange. certain parts literally turn orange, and then when you upload the pics to my computer, its normal again...i hate that camera..so much..

i would start at this website because besides Optical zoom, there are so many features in a camera.

after you have your list of 20 or so, choose a few you want to research more, and read some customer reviews on amazon.com and hopefully you'll decide to purchase one so you can start taking awesome pictures!

One phrase "... every camera I've had makes my pictures grainy or blurry etc..." tells me the problem is you, not the camera.
Until you are willing to devote sufficient time to reading and studying the Owner's Manual for your camera your results will be poor.
A camera is just a dumb light-tight box with a lens, a viewing system, a light meter and a way to focus. Used by an someone who hasn't bothered to study how to use it, it will always produce poor quality images.
If you decide to buy a new camera, and you've been given some good choices, READ & STUDY the Owner's Manual and learn how to actually use the features and benefits of your new camera.
Good luck & best wishes.

Anthony gave you a nice option, but the DMC LZ-6S is basically the same camera for around $150. The Lumix DMC-TZ3K is a 10x zoom, 7.2 mp camera in a nice small package for around $300. Canon has its A720is which is 6x, 8 mp for $200-250 range and its SX100 which is 10x, 8mp for around $300. Google a few of these to read some reviews.

I would recommend the Panasonic DMC-LZ7, a 7.2 megapixel camera with a 6x zoom lens.
It also has optical image stabilization and an auto ISO option. That should minimize blurry photos.
A search of pricegrabber.com found a price of $158 at circuit city for this camera.
It's not too big; it's not too small. Definitely not bulky.

ok, i'm going to project a guess. An aperture of f/22, a shutter speed of around 8 seconds @ ISO100. Sorry it took so long for me to respond to, yet you're on the different edge of the planet from me and that i'm only waking up. Ha! Peace, Antoni... ~EDIT~ ok, now i'm wide awake and that i will complex on why i think of your settings are the way I defined. One neat subject I picked up on a similar time as capturing at night grew to become into noticing what a small aperture does to highway lights furnishings. I chosen f/22 because you have a tendency to get severe-high quality refraction, or a starburst consequence, on maximum spectacular mild sources and while capturing at night, in specific situations a individual is far less pondering intensity of container and greater pondering shutter speeds. So as quickly as I shoot at night, I set an aperture of f/22 and communicate approximately a sturdy shutter speed. A shutter speed of 8 seconds or so will enable for the cool mild trails from the autos on the line. pondering the dimensions of the trails themselves and the reality they're non-stop, for the main section, will choose a minimum of 8 seconds to precise divulge. besides, i do no longer remember what digital camera you mentioned you used, so i'm only stabbing at night, my pal. i desire i grew to become into a minimum of close. And definite, i like it. mild trails are only cool, what am i able to assert... Peace,

If you have problems with blurry pictures, consider a camera with VR or IS.
Grainy (noisy) images are a problem with all small cameras.
