Looks like you're almost there! You've just forgotten to give your IMG tag a NAME attribute.

<IMG SRC="cameraname" WIDTH="60" HEIGHT="60" BORDER="0" NAME="icons">

Hey - note that you need to reference your objects correctly - e.g.
document.frmName.ImgName.src

here's the code

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showavatar() {
	cameraname = document.frmImg.camera.options[document.frmImg.camera.selectedIndex].value;
	document.frmImg.icons.src = cameraname;

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="frmImg">
<select name="camera" onChange="showavatar()">
	<option value="no_camera.gif" selected>No Camera</option>
	<option value="dsc_f707.gif">DSC F707</option>
	<option value="dsc_p5.gif">DSC P5</option>
	<option value="dsc_p9.gif">DSC P9</option>
	<option value="dsc_p31.gif">DSC P31</option>
	<option value="dsc_p51.gif">DSC P51</option>
	<option value="dsc_p71.gif">DSC P71</option>
</select><br>
<img src="cameraname.gif" width="60" height="60" border="0" name="icons">
</form>
</body>
</html>
