camera features search

i’m in search of a new camera. no more than $400 possibly $500. something good, more than 8.3 mp. ideas?
i like to take pictures & like different features. i currently own a fuji finepix 8.3 mp. i want one that will take great looking pictures like the kind you see on flickr. please help!
If you are willing to spend just under $500 and realize that a 6MP sensor on a DSLR is far superior to a 10MP sensor on a point and shoot camera, you can buy a nice DSLR with 18-55mm lens.

That said, the Nikon D40 with 18-55mm lens is below your high end and its sensor is over 15 times larger than the one on the Fujifilm camera.
It seems that everyone is stuck on the pixel count of sensors … Thank you marketing people!
Pixel count is one of four factors that can help you determine the quality and resolution you can expect from a digital camera in order of importance.
* Quality of the lens
* The quality and sophistication of the analog to digital converter within the camera.
* Sensor size
* Pixel count
