I've been wanting a new camera for sometime now. All I've ever used is a point and shoot, and ours is at least 20 years old. We have a 16 day trip to Costa Rica next year, and I would love to have a camera that I can zoom up to a tree and see a monkey, sloth, bird or what not, with out it being a black blob in the picture. Even the wife mentioned we need to get a new camera, because of this trip.

What I would like to be able to do with it... Really take pics like those in the daily pic thread.. They are amazing, and I know that is from years of photography, but I want to be able to learn how to do that.

Can someone recommend specific cameras, that wont break the bank (under $1000, maybe closer to $750).
