I've been using a Canon Powershot A60 for a year--really like it. The pictures surprise me sometimes . . .

This was a gift. Kinda off the wall brand, but they have some good stuff to say about it
on their site. It will do 90 minutes of video with audio with a 512SD card.

Gotta put in my .02

First digital I had HP something POS
Second one was a Kodak before they came out with the doc thing it was good but a little big.
Now I have a Cannon power shot S50, prolly more camera than you need but they have cheaper models.
I like the Cannon best of all of them.
Have used a Nikon cool pix before and was impressed with it.

You say Mustek sucked 'even then' like technology was better then.

I don't think my camera sucks. It will take just as good pictures as the popular brands.
Most cameras don't do audio with the video either. The camera was a birthday gift, but
I would buy another if something happened to it. I really like it.

They all use the same cheap ass internal components anyway.

Well I went with Geoffs pick. Nikon 3700 from http://butterflyphoto.com . I went to http://reviews.cnet.com to check out the camera. The negative comments about the camera didn't really concern me. They were mostly about options that I have no need of. Mostly for high end users of the camera. I just wanted a middle of the road camera. The price and options of the camera was perfect for my needs. The only drawback was the memory card. (16M) Too small. So I went to http://dealram.com and bought a 512M chip. The price was $42.00 and had a $15.00 rebate. The camera should be here in about a week or two.

Thanks for everones opinions. I really wasn't expecting this big of a response.
