WHITEKINGD:
If you need a digital camera and don't want to spend any real money on it, I suggest looking on Craigslist or eBay for a Sony Mavica MVC FD-73. This is an older digital cam that does not have the supersharp resolution of today's, but is very adequate for snapshot use. It stores the pics on a 3.5" floppy disk, so getting the pics onto your computer is pretty easy (unless you have a new one that doesn't have a floppy drive, in which case you could add a floppy drive, also dirt cheap).
The camera has a 10X optical zoom, auto-focus, and built-in flash. People with new digital cameras would turn up their noses at one, but for someone who just wants the occasional snap to post to a discussion group or whatever, they're still perfectly adequate. Last time I bought one on eBay, it was $40 with battery, charger, lens cap, case, instruction manual on CD, wrist and neck straps, the whole nine yards. Doesn't really get cheaper than that.
