I'm looking for a new digital.
I have a pretty shitty one right now.

I want something with an extremely variable exposure time. (From as fast as possible, to 15+ seconds)
I want a wide angle lens.
I want very high resolution.
I want long battery life.
I want up to 8x zoom.
Spending limit: $1800

Halp me, /p/

In P&S's, more zoom means less image quality. There are two ways of increasing zoom. Improving the lens, and cropping the sensor. Guess which is cheaper.

With that much money to spend and your limited brain capacity, I suggest the D40 and 18-200mm lens.

Canon 400D & Sigma 50-500mm aka bigma. That's 10x zoom right there.

The only thing missing is your wide angle criterion so chuck in a wide angle prime as well, or even the kit lens, 18mm is wide even on a crop.

Learn about why zoom ratios don't mean jack shit and then come back after.

That 18-200 is actually a very good idea in your situation (read: a bad idea in any other)

Halp is fine.
