Previous point and shoots I have had, had horrible color accuracy.

as far as cameras go, were you wanting a dslr or just a point and shoot? when i first got my canon t3i, i was blown away by how vibrant and clean the colors were (still am, really). and the display of the camera reflects the actual pictures pretty accurately. definitely captures the true colors of my snakes pretty nicely.
Colors looks pretty much the same on the TV, phone, desktop. So i'm pretty sure it's the camera. I really don't care what kind of camera as long as I can learn to make it do what I want. I want to make photo time quick and hassle free.

Everything you could ever need for anywhere between $10 to a couple thousand.
While a high megapixel count is nice it isn't the be all and end all, a larger sensor improves the image significantly.
The next big thing is lens quality. Ignore digital zoom and only count optical zoom in your consideration.

My personal preference leans to either a Canon or Nikon 3/4 body either new or re-furbished a spare battery and a nice lens or two that fill your needs.
Thanks for the link and the tips. Looks like I'll need to do a little research. I have to imagine this is what it feels like when normal people look at phone and computer specs lol. "wth is half this stuff?"
