Im looking to get a camera whats good?

I want a camera just for general use. What is good?

Please define "general use." I am unfamilar with that term.

Are you shooting landscapes, people, indoors, outdoors, wildlife, what?

And what will you be doing with the photos? Prints 16x20 or looking at on the web?

And what's your budget?

The lenses are where you can decide for general use. The camera is just what you'll be holding to record the images. If your not that serious of a photographer, I suggest you pick up a 350D, known better as the Rebel XT. Incredibly cheap now, and very capable.

I hear Canon have just announced a new Body, lens and flash that would be just perfect!

The OP may be better of with a P&S like the powershot series. Who knows without more info?

Canon rules the digital photography roost. But there are so many Canon choices. Your specific shooting desires and requirements, as well as budget, will dictate what is best for you.

welcome to POTN.

Digital Rebel XT or XTi would be a good choice.
Keep in mind that DSLR's tend to be expensive just for "general" use...but the rewards are priceless.

It would indeed be helpful if you could describe to us what your goals are, perhaps elaborate on "general use"...do you find P&S cameras to be lacking in something? etc...
