Either Fuji FinePix S5200/S5600 (they are the same camera) or one of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-fz30s if you dont want to bother with changing lenses. One of the Canon SLRs if you do or if you want to go night photography/astronomy.

Voila some nice easy photoshop filters for CA

Although the above chromatic aberrations can be purple in color under certain circumstances, "Purple Fringing" usually refers to a typical digital camera phenomenon that is caused by the microlenses. In simplified terms purple fringing is "chromatic aberration at microlens level". As a consequence, purple fringing is visible throughout the image frame, unlike normal chromatic aberration. Edges of contrasty subjects suffer most, especially if the light comes from behind them, as shown in the example below. Blooming tends to increase the visibility of purple fringing.

I have the 5600 and it is an excellent camera. I love it in everyway.
Only one thing about it i think is quite poor, the macro. Not as good as others but definately makes up for it everyway else.

unless you realy dont want to change lenses and want a super zoom, id go for the Pentax *ist over the FZ30 at Ã,£12 difrence in price, and I rarely use above 200mm on my FZ30, and since the *ist is a DSLR so it can grow with you

Thought the same as brummie with macros, however with close up filter set... you get damn close.
