I have a Kodak EasyShare camera & docking station - it\'s really easy to use, and the pictures come out great!  I\'d recommend at LEAST a 5-6 megapixel camera so the images are clear.  Most digital cameras on the market are great & simple to use... good luck!

Beware the delay. The cheap digital cameras have a serious problem with that, and I can\'t stand it.

I would buy a used old 35mm over a cheap digital camera.

But that\'sjust personal preference.

If you are likely to want to shoot short films on a stills camera (and some of them can be more than watchable), beware cameras which film in Apple Quicktime format- big files and crap quality. Also, it\'s next to impossible to convert them to a decent format for adding to a DVD/VCD - and then the quality is next to useless. My Olympus C60 takes some nice pics, even under stage lights, but the QT files are a real let down.

I got my wife a "Casio Exilim EX-Z70 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti Shake Optical Zoom (Black)" for Christmas. She wanted something she could toss in a pocket and take snapshots with on vacations, family visits etc. It has a lot of positive reviews on Amazon and we have been happy with its performance. It has a fair amount of manual control as well as point and shoot mode.

I haven\'t had luck with digital cameras, so shop around.  I had a Fuji that died after two years (just missed the warranty).   I just bought an Olympus in November, and yesterday it was useless.  The screen was all black.  Something is wrong with it already.  But I have to admit, Olympus is cool.  If they can\'t fix it, they\'re going to replace it.

I just took a digital photography class with one of the best photographers in my area... I\'m a Graphic Artist myself, so I talk to camera people all day... They all say Nikon makes the best digital cameras all around (for quality, focus, lens, delay,etc.) they definetly carry a price tag but you will definetly get  "more bang for your buck." I would also recommened using Epson printers and paper for printing images- That is just some professional advice from people who werk in the industry...

i\'d say so as well... although if I were to be getting a new one now I\'d get a Fuji . As far as I know Fuji makes the only compact digital cameras where the "video" mode is only limited by how big your memory card is.

A Canon and most others will max you out at 3 minutes. If you don\'t care about this feature, go Canon.
