Digital cameras, multifunction print/fax/scan/copy

[banksmiranda]

I'm looking to get a digital camera(or 2) and a multifunction print/fax/scan/copy device. I need one(preferrably compact) camera for traveling and general point and shoot photography. I need another(need not be compact) camera for high-quality photography.
I also need a multifunction print/fax/scan/copy device. It need not have memory card slots since I can purchase a card reader for not much. But I would like it to have a modem of its own so that it does not need to rely on the PC to send faxes, and would like it to be a flatbed model with a document feeder.
Any recommendations? It would be nice if you could make recommendations based on what is simply the best overall (in terms of features and performance) regardless of price, and what is probably the best value. I like Canon's separate ink cartridges, but this is not an essential feature. I think that Epson also has separate ink cartridges, but Epson does not yet have a multifunction which includes fax.

I don't know about a compact camera or a copy device, but I just bought a Sony DSC F828. 8 megapixel, 7x optical zoom..it's an amazing camera and a bang for your buck as far as megapixels go. I've had a lot of fun with it already.
