Cause cameras like the Olympus 2020 has the shittiest little lcd on it. I haven't looked at the 3040 or the 4040 models, but I wanted everyone's opinion and if you are a digital photographer yourself, if you can provide some samples of pics you took with your camera so I can compare, it would be great. Thank you

You do mean the best digital camera for shooting local girls for an amateur website right? Not "the best digital camera." If you want the best digital camera, go to your local Sinar Bron dealer and be prepared to pay, oh, $20K-$50K, depending on the bells and whistles you want.
More seriously, why is everybody interested in getting a camera that's way overkill. Get a 2-3 megapixel camera for $700 or less and spend the rest of your budget on something more useful than resolution and camera features you don't need and may never use.
I use Olympus C-3000 and C-4040 cameras, and to tell you the truth, the 3.4 megapixel camera (which I shoot at about 2 megapixels...1600x1200) takes exactly the same pictures as the 4.1 megapixel C-4040, because I also shoot at 1600x1200. The lenses are superb, they are easy to learn and use, and why in the world would I want anything more?
